Meet Yarny - DCC's Therapy & Reading Dog

There’s a special visitor coming to DCC every Wednesday!

Her name is Yarny and she is a school therapy dog.

She’s a black Labrador with golden fur on her legs. 

Her job is to listen to people read so students can enjoy reading and have fun while Yarny listens.

Reading With Yarny:

Rules

- Only one person can read to Yarny at a time

- Each student has a maximum of 10 minutes to read with Yarny.

- Reading with Yarny is optional.

- In each lesson 4 students will get a turn to read with Yarny so each week 8 students will get to read

to Yarny.

- At the end of your reading time, wash your hands before returning to your seat.

When you see this in front of 5B you will know Yarny is inside the classroom.
