Trick Dog/ Therapy Dog Visits the 3rd Grade

Last month, Jasmine and I went back to school!  Well... to visit the 3rd grade classes at an elementary school!  We had SO MUCH FUN!  (as you can tell from the video.) 
 First, I talked about what we do as a therapy dog team.  Then we had time for some Q & A.  Then finally- their favorite part- the trick show.  :)   
 You can just tell from the excitement in the kids' voices that they loved it!  Jasmine picks up on that energy and is eager to show off more tricks.  It's really fun!  No matter which trick we did, the kids just got a big kick out of it.  I just love their enthusiasm.   This is the same school that we visited last year too.  (Just a whole new set of 3rd Graders.)  :)   3rd Graders are the best!!

Jasmine, the Therapy Dog, Visits the 3rd Grade!

I'm a little behind on writing about life on my blog!

But on Oct. 5th- Jasmine and I went to an elementary school to talk to the kids!

This was so fun.  We did this last year too.  




All the 3rd graders just finished reading the book "Rosie the Visiting Dog".... about a therapy dog who looks similar to Jasmine.

The teacher asked if Jasmine and I could come to the school so the children can meet a therapy dog in real life!  

We talked about our experiences at hospitals and retirement centers, and what exactly a therapy dog does  And why we like to volunteer there.


After a long period of question and answers, we did a little trick demo.  (Very similar to what we do at the children's hospital.)   



They just loved it!!

This is Jasmine's "Be Shy" trick.

Then Jasmine found a volunteer to demonstrate her "Cowboy Trick".   


We did a trick show for about 20 minutes, I just wasn't able to get many pics.

All in all, a very fun day hanging out with the 3rd Graders!!  :)  



Hopefully, these 3rd graders will remember the story they read a little better because of meeting my favorite pup Jasmine!
