We have a new therapy dog in addition to Bear and Sugar. Her name is Mona and she is a Welsh Corgi mix! We thoroughly enjoyed Mona's company in our classroom last week.
Below, Mona visits with Tyrisha during Language Arts!
Mona was so sweet and gentle. She even came equiped with a backpack that had a book in it!! Can you guess what book?? It was a book about Clifford, the big red dog! 
Tradarius has come a long way in his love for dogs! Before this program, he would not come close to a dog. Now, he loves when our therapy dogs visit. He draws pictures of dogs as "extra homework" (that he assigns himself ) :-) and checks out a book about dogs from the library every week! In addition to the benefit of unconditional love by the dogs, we are also learning about dog (pet) care and safety.
I cannot stress how awesome this program has been for our class and for the dogs as well. It is hard to believe that Mona was in the pound/ animal shelter just six weeks ago. I guess this has worked out in everyone's favor! We look forward to our next visit with Mona!
