Always Twins
Classrooms
The Big Day
Different Classrooms, Same Big Hearts
Today is a school day! This year, we are going to separate classrooms. Sometimes, Justin's tummy feels a little fluttery. That is called worry, and it is completely okay! Janelle says, "Don't worry, Justin! We have our Double Courage plan!"
Our Daily Golden Rule
"I touch my bracelet. You touch your bracelet. We are always connected!"

The Double Courage School Steps
My Routine Map
Separation Plan
STEP 1
The Morning Connection
At home, we slide on our matching special bracelets. One for Janelle's wrist, one for Justin's wrist. Now the connection is alive!
"Click, click, secure!"
STEP 2
Walking in Together
We hold hands or walk side-by-side through the front school doors. Step, step, step! We are a strong, brave team.
"Through the doors together!"
STEP 3
The Connection Hug
Before we separate, we stop and give a big, warm hug. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze! We say, "I love you, see you soon!"
"Squeeze, hug, and wave!"
STEP 4
The Coat Closet
Next, we go hang up our own coats and backpacks. Zippity-zip, slide! Our things are safe and sound. Then, we walk confidently to our classrooms.
"Hang up our coats!"
Separate Rooms, Connected Hearts
Janelle goes to her classroom. Justin goes to his classroom. We are in different rooms, but we wear our matching bracelets. We can't see each other, but we can feel each other!
Practice these four steps at home to feel confident. Page 2
