Cooperative learning is fun and you also get to work together. Sometimes you have a friend for this type of learning, sometimes you have someone you don't really know. If you work with someone you don't really know, you could learn to cooperate with all sorts of people. Mrs.T teaches you skills you will use throughout your entire life, so have fun and cooperate!** **Hands-on Work** **Mrs. Truby is always doing fun hands-on work! She likes it more than doing boring old papers. She dislikes giving tests also. When everyone does hands-on work, you learn four things: cooperative learning, the subjects, you use your social skills, and have lots of fun! You will enjoy Mrs. T's fun hands-on projects!** **Motto** **Mrs. T has published 5 books, completed a national tour to teach women how to scrapbook, has had one child (Quade), and is STILL teaching! Now, tell me how she did that in one lifetime? Think about that for a second........AAHAAA, well, of course, it's positive thinking. Mrs. T's fantastic motto is, “If You Believe It, You Can Achieve It!” If you don't have any positive thinking in your life, you will probably fail. She has a whole wall of positive thoughts and advice. Read some of the motto's above the Smartboard. //Be smart, Be positive, and “IF YOU BELIEVE IT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!”//** **Toys on Desk** **Toys, toys, all around! Mrs. Truby has many toys on her desk. We are allowed to play with them when we are done with our work or standing in line to ask for help. Everybody loves the toys! Mrs. T gets a new toy every couple of weeks. All of the toys on Mrs. Truby's desk are entertaining and fun!** **Testing** **We barely ever have tests. Mrs.T dislikes doing tests because they only tell what you know that moment and not what you have mastered throughout the whole year. She says you need to learn and master the subjects for life. So that is why we barely ever do tests, and many students like that!** **Talking in Class** **Talking, everybody likes to talk. Mrs. T. will let you talk and work at the same time, but if you are talking and not working, you will face the consequences, extra work. It's okay to talk, but work at the same time.** **Thank You!** **We would like to thank Mrs. Truby for teaching and inspiring us! We have grown so much in her class by using cooperative learning, becoming responsible for our schoolwork, and being a positive role model. That's you, Mrs.T! We will use the information you gave us for our whole life! We will miss you. Thank you!** **With Love,** **Carson and Lydee**
