In class today, I picked the word " cooperation ". Here is what my card said,
"We work together and collaborate, leading or following when the time is right."
This word seems really familiar to all of us. Part of the word " cooperation " is cooperate. If we know that cooperate means to work together as a team, then we could definitely figure out the word cooperation. According to my card, that's all I know about cooperation. I believe I should know even more about my word. Let's do some research.
1. I typed this into Google: articles for kids about cooperation
2. I looked at the results and chose the second site:

3. I read the paragraph and selected the first paragraph because it really makes sense. If you haven't read the first paragraph, here it is.
"Please cooperate!" It's a plea every parent makes almost every day. It seems that we're constantly asking our children to share and cooperate with their friends, siblings, and us, their parents. And while they may not seem like they want to cooperate, the desire to do so is an important aspect of human nature. At birth, children are primed for social activity. They yearn to create relationships — to relate, communicate, collaborate — and have a basic need for belonging and feeling needed by others. Cooperation is a key part of relating to others and forging meaningful relationships. Through team building and collaboration, a child learns to respect others and to control his own immediate needs and impulses."
The text in red are the text that I chose. It tells me how important it is to cooperate. For Example:
If someone is building a house, it might take them 3 months. Would the time be the same if that person asked 2 more people to help him/her? Now, if there are 3 people instead of 1, the time will decreases 3 times. That would be so more efficient, and it's using our time wisely. The quicker you build the house, the earlier you are going to get in there.
Nevertheless, here is the problem. If those 2 people are busy, is it the right time to ask for help? They might feel frustrated and think that you are not respecting them as well. So, when we want to cooperate with someone, we also have to think about the time and who we are cooperating with. Is it appropriate to ask someone who draws to help you? Is it wise to ask someone who has a big project they are working on? I will try to focus on that.
After looking around for examples, I found this cool video and a helpful image about cooperation. It's so funny!
