Mr. Steltman - Redirecting ...

One Word Challenge!

1/19/2023

I was inspired by a fellow teacher whose blog I saw a while ago. Their goal was to choose one word that would guide them as they took on the new year. This week, I want you to do the same. Choose one word that will guide your goals, your learning, and your experiences and write down why you’ve chosen that word. My example paragraph is below.
For me the word will be FOCUS. In 2023, I am choosing to focus. I want to spend my time focussed on the things that matter most to me, my family, my students, and my well being.  To achieve this goal of focus, I am going to be present in each situation while I am experiencing it.  I plan to give 100% to my family when I’m at home, and not spend so much time working, and when I’m at work, I’m going to focus on individual tasks and completing them in order so that I am being efficient with my time. With regards to my well being, I am going to make sure that I am exercising, and when I’m there I’m focussing on proper form, and being the best I can be.

What’s your word that you’re going to choose for your year?  How do you plan on using that word to help you throughout the year?

My word of the year is kindful.The word of the year is kindful to me is so I can be a caring, helpful and if i do those things a lot of times that is showing kindness to me and to me that is good. Another way that my word is kindful is that you should be kindful if someone is there or if nobody is there. sometimes people seem really nice when somebody is there but when is not looking at them they are not as nice. The last reason why kindful is my word is because if nobody was kindful then the world may still not be here but because there are a lot of kindiful people that help a lot of things in this world.For those reasons that is why my word of the year is kindful.


THE END!

My word for 2023 is positive.
I understand why it’s important to be positive. When l do something that l do not like, I often think of it in a negative way. Math is a subject that I find hard sometimes.

I am going to fix how l see things in a negative way. Going forward, l am going to frame things in a positive way. Framing to me means changing how l see things. Math is something that l can frame in a positive way.

In the future, I am going to change the way I think about math. By thinking how l can do it and to ask for help when l need it. When l need help l will ask my teacher and parents. Also, l am going to make time to work on my math.

If I could choose any word to help me this year, that I could think about when I’m stuck would be industrious. Being industrious has so many different elements to it. When I’m industrious I know I want to do something, I should do it, I need to do it, and I WILL do it. I’m obviously not industrious all the time, but it would be that one word to guide me through the year. It means when you want to do something, you will try your hardest - apply your thinking and learn more to achieve the goal you would like to fulfill. Industrious would be like my friend to tell me what to do. First, I want to do something, so I think about how I’ll manage to do it. Next, when I’m stuck I need to think smaller then bigger. I need to work in graduated steps, performing simpler projects before bigger ones. Finally, these steps will allow me to achieve my goal. I will always persevere so that I can achieve my goal somehow. I won’t allow myself to say that I can maybe, probably or hopefully do something. Even if it’s not the outcome I sought. The whole point of industrious is that when I want to do something, I am determined to do it. Industrious will guide me through the year!

My word of this year is considerate. Being considerate is trying not to hurt others feelings, and being polite. We could all probably be more considerate of others: this word means you're thinking of other people — considering them. Well, I'm guessing it will be hard to be considerate. There are problems with being overly considerate of others. It can be a real source of misunderstanding. When you defer too much to someone else, they then misread you, and then communication is detrimentally hampered. But sometimes, all you need to do is calm down and try your best not to get overly considerate. But being considerate is a good thing. People feel comfortable of being around the people who is considerate. And that is why I am looking forward of being considerate. :)

My word for 2023 is CREATIVITY. I chose that because I want to make more creative designs. I have the power to use google draw. Sometimes I use google draw to help me make art when we use it on computers in class. Another reason I chose the word CREATIVITY this year I would like to make a project using popsicle sticks and a hot glue gun, and make it cool. I was thinking about making a hockey stick.

If I could choose any word in the world it would be CONFIDENT. We all heard teachers, parents, and coaches to be confident. So why I want to be confident it's because it will increase my mind to think of a way to acomplish what I'm doing. Also it will make you ready for hard things for example if you have a test at school you think that UGH why do we have to do this, but if you be confident you will think that you can do it and probably have a 95% chance of passing that test. How I will be confident is that for example if I have to do a 5km run I will say to myself I can do it and think of a way to be better like practicing everyday. Another way is that if there is a hard math question I will challenge myself to try it out and again say that I can do it. That is why I chose confident to be my word of the year.

My word this year is Try. I know it's the same word to use but a i have a different way. I Pick the word TRY because i really need to work on other things i need to like the morning Math. I usually need help but that's Ok. Me trying on other hard things and trying them out is better because it's a good thing. If i try harder i will be better. So that's why I picked this word and try more.

My word is FOCUS.

I struggle to focus due to my ADHD and my constant need to fidget.
I have been trying to work on this by keeping objects away from my hands during class.

I am also trying not to get too hyper because I have found that when I am hyper, focusing is more of a challenge.

I am working on FOCUS in all areas of my life, school, sports, friends and family.

I believe if I can learn to focus better I will be able to achieve more in life.

The word I'm choosing to guide my goals, my learning, and my experiences in 2023 is Bridge. Now this might sound confusing but just wait.

I've chosen the word bridge because if I'm in school or at home and someone makes me do something I don't like I want to start to think to myself, "Alright this is the bridge I have to cross to do the thing I like."

An example is gym, (sorry Mr. Steltman) but I don't really enjoy the basketball games we play. So when this happens I will try not to complain and just say to myself " I will play these games for most of the time then I will ask my teacher to just bounce the ball with my friend." Because playing with my friend is what I want to do and playing the basketball games is the bridge I need to cross over.


Another example is at home. My dad makes really good dinners but his dinners mostly comes with cooked vegtables which I absolutly DESPISE! Then I will just think to myself " I will eat the cooked vegatables then cross over the bridge and eat the thing I do like."


This stratagy will help me stop focusing on the thing I don't like and focus on the thing I do like, which will motivate me to try more things with a better attitude, and that's why I chose the word bridge.

My word of the year is TRY. Basically this just means that I want to try new things, and get involved in new school clubs. I want to learn to adjust better to changes, and trying new things will help out.

I also want to try to focus better on school and actually do my homeowork. ( which is partially the reason I'm writting this at 7am)-

My word for 2023 is focus because sometimes I don’t focus on things like homework or focusing on a task. But what I really need to focus on is to listen while the teacher is teaching a lesson.

My word for 2023 is Creative
I want to be more creative with my writing my art being more creative with tennis games to play and to do and also my coding.
I think this is a good word for 2023 because it will let me be more open to more ideas for this year. Being more creative allows me to have more unique ideas. One more reason why I think creative is a good word for 2023 is because being creative is fun and its something positive and happy to do.
That is my word for 2023.
