Students and teachers at South Side School (AR) campus have created a Mutt-i-grees® Reading Room! Second grade students come once a week to read to Tripp, the school’s resident teaching Mutt-i-gree®. Students are so excited to get one-on-one time with Tripp and look forward to reading to him. The school also uses their Mutt-i-grees® Reading Room to keep Mutt-i-grees® recommended titles, Mutt-i-grees® artwork, and Mutt-i-grees® puppet (when he is not working hard in the classroom). South Side also uses this area as a small group activities room for Mutt-i-grees® and a waiting room for students and parents. Tripp is always eager to greet parents at the door!

Grades Pre-K – 3 Curriculum Kit + Digital Access
This is learning prime time, the magical period when children begin to discover their individuality, explore their emotions, and relate more deeply to others, including animals. They learn to take turns and share. And they develop empathy and curiosity that support social-emotional and academic learning. It’s also a period of imagination and independence, with both negative and positive consequences. Using the child’s spontaneous affinity for shelter pets, this Curriculum Kit supports positive growth and compassion inside the classroom and beyond.
