Every time
I see #nerdlution in a tweet my brain automatically starts singing,
You say you want a #nerdlution,
Well, you know.
We all want to change the world.
I love this
little movement that has turned into something bigger than a few friends making
goals.
I love that there are so many positive folks on Twitter.
I love that I’m friends with so many of them.
I feel like
we, as a group, can change the world. Look at the positive energy this hashtag
has created? I was a bit of a grouch tonight. Judging by the attitude my sons
both have, I think it might be something in the air. Getting out of that mood
was easy – I simply read the #nerdlution tweets. Happiness and positive energy
abounds. I highly recommend it when you need to turn your mood around.
We’ve also
begun a #nerdlution in my classroom. My students know my goals and are welcome
to ask me how I’m doing any day. They have created their own as well and have
check-off charts in their writing notebook to keep track of their success?
Their goals? Awesome:
Check over
my homework at night.
Eat
healthier.
50 crunches
a day and not as much candy.
Run two
times around the neighborhood each day.
Run and be
healthier.
Run each
day.
Write a
page in my notebook a day.
Read and
write more daily.
Read an
hour a day.
Write and
exercise more.
Read 20
minutes, run 30 minutes, drink water, eat an apple a day.
Convince my
parents to buy me a horse.
Less TV and
fighting with my brother.
Work on
organizing my writing.
5 layups
and a run daily.
Give
something to others daily.
Less candy,
TV every other day, no “sassing” back.
Love these
kids. Today we reflected on the goals three days in. I reminded them this is no
pressure – reassess your goals, change if needed. The main goal we have as a
class is to come out at the end of the 50 days feeling good about what we
accomplished.
Some kids are very earnest about what they are undertaking. Some, I am assuming, I will be reminding them along the way of what we’re doing. Either way, I’m glad to go on this journey with them.
