Students Read to Emotional Support Dog
Rocky Point Middle School Life Skills students welcomed special guest Hamilton, an emotional support dog from the Suffolk County Police Department. The students, working on their own reading skills, read “How Rocket Learned to Read” by author Tad Hills. The story tells of a little dog named Rocket who doesn't realize what he's missing when it comes to being able to read. The students took turns expertly reading from the story. The students were fascinated when they finished the story and Hamilton’s handler asked for two sheets of paper and wrote on them “Sit” and “Down,” to which Hamilton obeyed!
