Dear Teacher-to-Be,

          Hi, my name is Shelby and I'm in fifth grade. I am ten years of age and I love to write. I am a very, very athletic girl and I play softball. Right now, I am playing fast pitch softball. Trust me it is hard!!! Every single time I walk up to the plate, I get a little scared. It's because the ball is coming at you pretty darn fast! In slow pitch softball, I was the best hitter in the whole leauge!!! It's hard to move from one thing to another. That's why I am writing to you today.

          There is one thing that you must, must do!!! You must make learning FUN!!! I have a lot of experince with this. Many students think school is boring. Here's some advice, try to make your students laugh, never pop a quiz without talking to the class about it, and make sure you relax and have fun!!!

           There is one class that is right down the hall from my classroom. This class is always laughing! We can always hear them when they are haveng a good time!!! There is another class where the teacher has a multiplication rap  song !!! When my class is learning something new, we hear the class shouting " Seven times six is forty-two!!!" It really gets me into a better mood when I hear or see someone having fun!!

          In the past, some of my teachers have given us a studyguide at the end of class that was blank! Not only did we have to fill it in, but we also had to study it! You know, we could have been studying the wrong answers!

           Out of all of the things that I have said, relax, and have fun!!!
