The weighted lap dog has been a hit as children will read a story while holding him on their lap.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the cozy corner they were thrilled, and shared, \"You got this... for us????\" My heart was full, and the joy and appreciation from my students was immediate.\r\n\r\nI was able to rearrange my classroom to put the cozy corner near our pet turtle, which feels like a perfect fit.
