Susquehanna Service Dogs: Puppy Sitter Class
http://susquehannaservicedogs.blogspot.com/2015/07/puppy-sitter-class.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. We talk about our puppy raisers a lot, but they aren’t the only ones who play an important role in shaping a young puppy into a successful service dog. Our puppy sitters also help prepare the dogs for life as working service dogs. Since we only had one hour, we focused on six tasks and behaviors: loose leash walking, getting in and out of the car, pottying, greetings, leave it, and entering and exiting the elevator. All of our sitters did a wonderful job working with their dog!

Saturday, January 28, 2012. 8220;Freezin Season”? Not “Snow” Much-But a bit “Tacky”. Last week we finished up our “Freezin Season” centers and winter theme, but it was a bit difficult to do without snow! We tried to cheer up the room with a few snowmen “craftivities” but it was difficult to get in the mood when we didn’t even need a coat at most of our recess days! For our penguin information. We finished up our study of penguins with our favorite penguin character “Tacky”! They were sooooooo cute! First...

Mrs. Schmelzer's First Grade Class: Martin Luther King, Jr.
http://mrsschmelzer.blogspot.com/2012/01/martin-luther-king-jr.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2012. Martin Luther King, Jr. What an inspiration these stories were to my students. They were really intrigued with Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks, and ML King’s Dreams. They just couldn’t believe those things happened to Rosa, Ruby, and Martin! After reading several biographies about MLK we made these pictures of him and then wrote about our own dreams to make the world a better place. Wow, 6 and 7 year olds really do understand that we need to work together! I was soooo impressed!

Monday, August 3, 2015. We Have Gone to the Dogs! Guest post by Revenda Bierley, puppy raiser and volunteer for Susquehanna Service Dogs. When our youngest child went off to college, my husband and I decided our nest was too calm and quiet for our taste. Enter SSD Aunt Laura. We attended several training classes and passed a home inspection, crossing our fingers hoping we would soon receive a call to raise a puppy. As luck would have it, our wait was short lived.
