Lizzie Comfort Dog Visited WIPP

 WIPP had a very special Guest Reader yesterday…Lizzie Comfort Dog ! Lizzie is a Lutheran Church Charities K-9 Comfort Dog. Some of her comforting has been in the aftermaths of tragedies including those in Parkland FL and Surfside FL; she also brings local comfort to people in nursing homes and hospitals. Yesterday, Lizzie came to WIPP with two of her humans and joined circle time in each of our classes. Cindy, one of her people, has written an adorable book about Lizzie and her job as a comfort dog. She read the book to each class and explained all about Lizzie as Lizzie herself listened from the floor with the preschoolers. Lizzie was a model student and so gentle with our preschoolers! Both of her humans are retired school teachers and were great with our preschoolers as well. It was wonderful having all three come Guest Read and teach our preschoolers about Lizzie and her job as a Comfort Dog. 

Jan 9-13 Wrap Up

Our first full week back to school in January was “snow much” fun as our preschoolers did many crafts, lessons, and activities with winter themes! Even though the theming was winter, the real weather was warm, and everyone enjoyed plenty of sunshiny outdoor playtime. 

The WIPP Weekly (our digital newsletter) can be accessed here. It has lots of news about our upcoming events at WIPP. One notable event is registration, which begins next Tuesday. To join our waitlist for registration, click here.

Following this three day weekend, we are looking forward to enjoying more fun at WIPP next week!!
