Scooter

Today we had a visit from Scooter.   Scooter is a specifically trained classroom assistance dog. Since we have been discussing community helpers and community we included how service dogs help people in the community. We have discussed that when we see a dog wearing the special vest that the dog is working. When a dog is working no one should call to him, try to pet him or feed him.

After we reviewed these rules, we had an opportunity to interact with Scooter. He did tricks for us and we even go to pat him. Check out our pictures on the picture blog.

Thank you to Christina Cicolini, Scooter's handler, for bringing him to our classroom.
