Over the course of an entire month, the Pleasant Grove Elementary students studied our country and its system of government. During "Celebrate Freedom Week" our students participated in many activities related to our government and our freedoms, including participating in a school-wide presidential election. The PGS students voted to elect President Barack Obama to a second term over his opponent Mitt Romney. All-in-all, our students had a great educational experience and learned a lot about what it means to be an American.
Every Tuesday morning Izzie briskly walks down the halls at Pleasant Grove School, almost prancing. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Children notice and want to greet her. She has made friends with many kids and has learned much from them. Each week for the last two years she has listened to stories and learned about other animals and far-away places as children read to her. It is not unusual for children to read to people—but Izzie is a Standard Poodle.
Izzie, accompanied by her guardian Sandra Fanelli participates in Pleasant Grove’s Animal Assisted Reading Program. Izzie has learned a lot but the children have learned more. Sandra guides Lizzie as she connects with kids as they read. Reading is essential to every child’s success.
“The impact on our children has been tremendous,” says Pam Motley, Pleasant Grove third grade teacher. “For a child who finds reading difficult, reading aloud can be an uncomfortable experience. Pressure to succeed or criticism from peers can lead to a downward spiral. What a child in that situation needs most is unconditional acceptance in a safe setting to practice reading skills without anxiety. Izzie and Sandra are very good at that! They create enthusiasm and help give kids a boost in their reading skills.”
