Each year, students at Goodrich School complete a service learning project. This year first grade made dog and cat toys to donate to the West Suburban Humane Society. Last Friday, we had the opportunity to bring our donations and tour the West Suburban Humane Society. We even had the chance to meet some friendly dogs and cats.
During our tour, students were able to learn about all different aspects of the humane society. Students saw where the animals lived, where they stored all items to care for the animals, and had the chance to learn a bit about what the process is like when animals first come to the humane society. Students were amazed to see the space where they store all the necessary items to care for the dogs and cats. They couldn’t believe how many of the items had been donated, just like their toys!
This week, we are taking our learning a step farther by writing about why people should adopt an animal from the humane society.
