First grade teacher, ๐ ๐ฟ๐. ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ต has partnered with Mrs. Mary Hughes, from the Montgomery Humane Society, and her therapy dog, Larry. Together they have been teaching the students about pet responsibilities, dog safety, and are practicing their reading skills as well. Students get to meet and read each week with Larry one-on-one. As they are reading their library books to Larry, he helps calm any anxiety that they may be feeling with reading because he is such a good listener. Mrs. Smith says โThis is a great opportunity that helps our first graders become stronger readers as they build up their confidence! We look forward to our time with Mrs. Mary and Larry every week!โ
