@joboaler I am going to share with my kids on Monday. For kids (& their teachers!) to really believe that they can achieve anything is so powerful. My kids took a test on factoring ; I added a special Q 20, and got a special answer!
@JasonAblin I love @saravdwerf name tents. I do them every year. Gives students an opportunity to share privately what they wish - about themselves or their previous math experience 👍
MHK was happy to attend LTC 2023! I’m so proud of Shrey, Vish, and Andrew. Looking forward to a great school year for the MHK Student Council. @EWRSDK12@MsKirchmer
Celebrating the class 2027! They are a very special group of kids. Wishing you all the best at HHS. Thanks for leaving your mark on me and MHK! Shout out to the A-Team! @MrsKatieMinto @MHK_AP_7 @MsDaSilvaAP @EWRSDK12
We did it! 1,200 native plants were planted in the A.J. Collins Memorial Garden. Every Kreps student came to put one in. So grateful for our selfless volunteers. Karen Bennett donated swallowtail caterpillars to our fennel & golden Alexander patches. @EWRSDK12@EWEAtweets
So impressed with the native plant garden developed by @MHKProjectGreen. All of the MHK students are planting a plant this week and the garden will honor AJ Collins, an 8th grader who we lost earlier this year.
In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.
