Class Experience

I am the co-author, along with my husband, Dr. Ed Blesy, of the popular BE THE VET book series which has sold 1000s of books over the past several years. Using this first person point of view, the  books make the child feel as if he or she is part of the story. 

Based upon my popular ongoing BE THE VET class which is based upon my book series, I have created this ONE TIME Halloween special class.

Using context clues from the Halloween-themed story that I have written and will read aloud as students follow along, students will guess what is wrong with the pet and what may have caused the problems. They will get to answer basic questions that a veterinarian will ask like "what is the animal's name," "what are the symptoms or injuries the animal is exhibiting," and "what is the pet's history." Then they will use their background knowledge, clues from the story, and conjectures to suggest ways to help the animal. 

Then we will learn about safety tips for dogs and cats at Halloween that will help to keep our pets safe with all that extra candy lying around! 

*This fictional case will end "happily ever after."

I am the co-author of the popular book, BE THE VET. The other co-author is my husband, veterinarian Dr. Ed Blesy.  Dr. Ed wrote the veterinary information based upon his twenty + years of veterinary experience while explaining veterinary terminology for student understanding. This case and treatment are fictionalized based upon one doctor’s experience. It was important for us to write a book where the readers get to feel as if they are part of the experience using the context clues from my stories.

I am also a former certified elementary school teacher and the author of over 25 books for children.
