Tammy the therapy dog

I have to say this is a dream come true for Me and a couple coworkers. Tammy went through training all summer to become a St. John's therapy dog. She had to meet a strict criteria of prerequisites in order to be able to be registered as a therapy dog.

For a few of us the inspiration came from the program see spot read , as well as an up and running program collaborated between the Winnipeg humane society and libraries.

Tammy comes into our classroom for one period every day 1. Her owner, Mrs. Beaumont is also a resource teacher at our school, brings Tammy in to visit us.
I'm not sure who is more excited - us or Tammy!

Here are some pcs of her first two visits.
She comes again this Wednesday. Fr our activity we will be learning a new sight word -LIKE. Students are asked to bring in some thing they like, and Tammy is going to bring some things she likes!!!
