We spent some time last week putting our nonfiction reading skills to work while we researched Service Dogs. We identified categories we'd like to know more about, such as how service dogs are trained and how service dogs help people. We read books, articles, and did some research on the internet. We ended our research by having a special visit with the service dog here at NMES: Beamer.
We met with Beamer and Ms. Keane (Beamer's handler and a teacher here at NMES) to learn more about service dogs. We learned specific things about Beamer and even got a chance to watch him follow many commands. The students enjoyed learning about service dogs, especially about Beamer.
A segment about Beamer aired on the WBZ "Eye on Education." You can see the story
