It has been an exciting few weeks at my new school! I have been working hard to train my students and staff on what my job is, and how I can best help them to be successful at school. I can help my students without saying any words, help them feel safe at school, help them read by listening to their stories, help them concentrate on their work when they feel anxious, and help them feel special by being their friend. They know where to pet me, how many students can work with me at a time, and how I am supposed to behave in their classrooms.
I spent an entire day with my pal, Duncan and my Trainers to work on getting them ready for me to visit classrooms to work with my students. They learned about how I was trained, what services I can provide to my students, how to handle me, and what I am supposed to do when visiting their classrooms. They were able to get hands-on training with me. It was a great day!
My school family is so wonderful! I can't wait to start working in classrooms!
