Fun with first grade friends this afternoon! #NergeRocks #uKNIGHTed #WeAre54

Our Knights were hard at work with the #hexagonalthinking strategy to #collaborate & #justify their reasoning for what key details connect and which distinctively support their central idea best. The conversations were ROCKIN’🤘🏻 #NergeRocks #WeAre54 #CriticalThinking

If they praise you, SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. If they criticize you, SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. If no one even notices you, just SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. Just keep showing up, doing the work, and leading the way. 📷 From page 176 of my book, “The Power of Positive Leadership.”

Thank you Kristine Belt for a surprise gift today while I covered a classroom. You brightened my day & got the students & I chatting about what we value and what makes us feel valued. #YouAreValued #ValueSquash #NergeRocks #WordsOfAffirmationIsMyLoveLanguage #WeAre54

Driving to work this morning, I introduced my (almost 😭) 18 month old to the Spice Girls and was reminded to #SpiceUpYourLife & had a fun dance party in the car. Isabella? She isn’t so sure yet about Mommy’s music. How are you starting your day? #WeAre54 #KnightsOnTour

“High expectations are your outward manifestation of your belief in something…that’s where the love comes in” - Kim Bearden YES! This is true for both kids AND adults. If your expectations aren’t high, that shows you don’t believe in them #CoachingThoughts #WeAre54 Brian Mendler

I got to be Spark during our assembly today at Nerge! I had a blast getting to cheer on our rockstars. What a fun Monday! #PeakMoment Shawn Achor #WeAre54 #NergeRocks #uKNIGHTed #OrangeFrog #CanYouDotheSplits #DanceOff

Nerge staff took on part 3 of our installment of IW this afternoon. Staff got to take on the Ss perspective, experiencing math activities. They then reflected on where these tasks fall & WHY. Great conversations were had for how to differentiate. Thanks @mrscase101 for joining us

Nerge sixth graders have been hard at work deciphering what events throughout history have been the most devastating to society. Soon we will battle it out to see who has the strongest reasoning linked to support their claim and evidence #weare54 #studentchoice #standardsaligned

First graders got to work with Playdoh AND do math AT THE SAME TIME! 🤯 This guy is proud of showing his understanding one tens and ones place value #tactilelearning #weare54 #nergerocks #1stgraderocks

Nerge 6th graders collaboratively created their own infographic to feature the author’s overarching claim & evidence. Feedback from other Ss determined evidence 4 might not quite be the most distinct. I love listening to their conversations! #alwaysgrowing #nergerocks #weare54
