Paws
to Read Program with Mrs. Schumacher’s First Grade Class and Teddy at Crestwood
Elementary School:
Teddy
and I survived our first visit to Mrs. Schumacher’s class. I forgot what it was like to be in a first grade class!!
J The kids were wonderful and very gentle with Teddy. They were so
excited they couldn’t stay in their seats. The reading went well but my little guy wasn’t really interested.
He was pretty good about sitting on his pillow though. I think he was fascinated with all of the kids and what they
were doing. There was only one little girl who was not allowed to touch Teddy.

I went to VBS at my church today to share what I do with Samson to the kindergartners.
The kids and adults all loved hearing what Samson does as a therapy dog and were eager to ask questions. After I spoke
the kids all swarmed and tackled Samson. I knew Samson could handle it and the children loved him. Samson was
definitely tired after the seven classes came to visit. He was so popular that he's going again tomorrow to visit
other classes. I'm sure Samson is going to be so excited, I know I am!
