Though this is her first year teaching 3rd grade, she brings 20+ years of experience in education, previously serving as a Title I & literacy interventionist and a Special Education para for 10 years. 📚 A Unique Teaching Approach! Ms. Cooley and her colleague, Ms. Thuma, split subjects to enhance learning—Ms. Cooley teaches math & science, while Ms. Thuma covers ELA, writing, and social studies. 🔢 Multiplication Masters! Her students are hard at work mastering multiplication tables, tracking their progress each week. Those who complete all 12 tables will celebrate with an ice cream party at the end of the year! 🍦 🧠 Daily Math Challenges & STEM Fun! She keeps learning exciting with daily math challenges, where students solve word problems for PBIS points or small prizes. STEM Wednesdays bring hands-on activities like building the longest paper chain with only two sheets of paper, a ruler, and scissors! 🐶 Outside the Classroom A Yuma native, Ms. Cooley loves traveling (Maine is a favorite spot! 🌊🏯) and spending time with her mini schnauzers, Muffin & Milo. She even found a donut shop in Maine that makes potato donuts! 🍩 💬 Principal Elson shares: "Ms. Cooley exemplifies dedication, collaboration, and a passion for education. Her first-year achievements are extraordinary, and she’s a tremendous asset to our school community." We are so lucky to have Ms. Cooley at Town & Country! 💙👏 #TeacherFeature #RoadrunnerPride #WeLoveOurTeachers #EmpoweringYou #SVUSDProudARatedDistrict
