Kermit Visits Schools!!!
Kermit and his nephew Shagganappi aka (Fozzie Bear) have been visiting schools everywhere.
The purpose of these visits is to talk to the children about Newfoundland dogs, and what they were bred to do. What service dogs are needed for and what therapy dogs do and the differences between the two.
In conjunction with that, we read the book "The Adventures of Kermit the Newf" Book 1 Dog Tales. We do a Power Point presentation of the book as it is being read to larger groups. We hold the book and show the pictures as i t is being read to smaller groups.
After the story we talk to the children about being an author. Why it's fun to read books and to also write about their own life experiences and/or the books they have read.
Next we have a question and answer time and then we let each child, who is willing, pet the dogs. We then give them each a free book to take home and keep. These books have been "Pawtographed" by Kermit.
The book is primarily for the reading level of 2nd and 3rd grade students, but the content is for all ages.
When we revisit schools, we give those children who have already received a book, a free Journal. This journal has lined pages as well as blank ones for drawing. It encourages the children to be creative in their own way.
There is absolutely no cost to the school or group for the presentation or the books and journals. This program is our gift to the people we visit.
We look forward to visiting your child's/grandchild's school and/or the school at which you or your friends teach.
Please let us know when you would like us to visit and we will compare calendars.
Looking forward to meeting you for a fun and enlightening experience.
Thank you for your interest.
