She has had days where her dogs are communicating that they do not want to come with her to school that day, and she listens to them and lets them stay home. Jordan also took a moment to talk to her students about what they like about Glacier and Frost coming into their classroom. Here are a few of the things that they had to say: • “Having Glacier and Frost at school helps to relieve my stress.” • “They should be able to work in this classroom for a long time so maybe they can help more kids with being able to control their anger.” • “When Glacier and Frost are here, it is easier for me to focus on my work.” • “I love doing tricks with the dogs, they put a smile on my face, and it’s fun to watch them learn new tricks.” • “Glacier and Frost have helped out class so much that I think all schools should have a therapy dog.” [Matt Boutcher] Resources: 1. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1173578. pdf
