Pip the Pup – An Introduction

Hey there teacher besties! Today I am here to chat all things PIP THE PUP! It’s kind of one of those IYKYK (if you know, you know) types of topics. Teachers seem to know all about Pip or are a little WHO is Pip the Pup and what can this pup do for me?! Well, Pip the Pup is a fictitious character I made in the summer of 2019. I was working on my new back to school program and as I wrote books using a teacher voice something just didn’t feel right. A teacher can tell students to sit quietly or to do their job at the dramatic play center but well…. you know a teacher says a lot of things. That’s when I got the idea for a CHARACTER to be the one to teach students the how and why when it comes to following rules. That’s when Pip the Pup came to life.

Pip the Pup is an adorable spotted (Dalmatian) dog. Pip the Pup is now the classroom mascot in classrooms around the globe! Pip the Pup is known for custom mentor texts! This is books that you the teacher read aloud to the students. Instead of you telling students the rules… Pip the Pup takes over that role! You can then remind students, “Remember what Pip the Pup taught us about ___?” Basically, you can think of Pip the Pup as the furriest assistant you always needed and wanted 😉

Pip the Pup has mentor texts for just about EVERYTHING you can imagine. Pip is a very busy pup for sure! Pip the Pup has academic-based books. For example, Pip has books for letters of the alphabet, numbers, subitizing, and ordinal numbers. Pip also helps with school-related learning like learning how to use manipulatives, areas of the school/classroom, and school supplies. However, Pip the Pup covers so much more than just academics. Pip the Pup is there to help with those hard to teach concepts as well. Pip can help with emergencies, bus safety, making new friendships, responsibility, kindness, and separation. Of course Pip the Pup is there for the fun times, too! Pip the Pup has books for holidays and important events.

Pip the Pup is not only known for the mentor texts but also CERTIFICATION! That’s right! Pip the Pup means business when it comes time to get certified. Pip the Pup will teach students how to use a certain manipulative or school supply. They will then get an opportunity to get certified in that school supply by showing that they are able to use it the right way! “What did Pip teach us about glue sticks? Do we roll then on our foreheads?” (As you chuckle knowing this is 1000% possible the first week of school.) Students receive a certificate once they have shown that they can do their job with that supply/manipulative!

Prepping Pip the Pup Books

You have some options for prepping your Pip books! If you are on a time crunch/would like to save on supplies, you can simply project the PDF books onto your Smartboard or interactive whiteboard. However, if you’d like to print the books you have options. Below you can see Nita used standard 3 prong folders to hold her Pip books. She cut off the front of the 3 prong folder but left a laminated front cover to the book.

Betsy spiral bound her Pip books. This is for sure a teacher favorite for prepping! The TruBind machine is a wishlist item but a great binding machine! The Proclick binder is a more cost-effective option for a personal binder!

Natalie used a comb binding machine to prep her Pip books.

Tracey used THESE presentation covers for her Pip books! This is another cost-effective idea teachers love for the Pip books!

    Just curious as to why Pip got a makeover, for example the circle from his/her(?) eye changed sides. I know the kids can’t tell the difference, but just wanted to know. Also, which picture is the more current one? Thank you, my kids love Pip!

      The previous Pip was only offered in one position. Sitting facing forward. I need multiple versions of Pip- walking, sitting, standing, jumping, etc. That’s why I had custom Pips made! Thanks
