The classroom was filled with laughter and children scurrying about with different tasks. Each group was assigned to help another group if they finished first. It was a cooperative sharing of creativity and fostered teamwork. No tests, no competition to get that big red A on the paper were present. A new ambience filled the room, making the teacher beam with pride.
