Mr. Steltman - Redirecting ...

I've got a Gratitude Attitude

10/8/2020

 

    Watch the above video that explains the neuroscience behind being grateful, isn’t it amazing that our brains actually change when we are thankful to others or when we look back on our day and think about things that we were thankful for. With this time of year being Thanksgiving, it seems to me to be a perfect occasion for us to get some of this bonus happiness that they were talking about in the video. For your blog post this week, you are to use this doc to help you record different things you’ve been thankful for for the week and then, as the week finishes, write a blog post in which you share the three gratitudes that were most important to you and why. To help you with what I mean, I’ll write out three important gratitudes for me. 

  1. I am grateful for my wife, and best friend, Jacey. She has done an amazing job of keeping our family organized, on track and always takes the lead when it comes to packing up for camping. I am so grateful that we have the opportunity to camp with our daughters and it’s in large part because she makes such an effort to make lists, pack up the stuff and get me going.
  2. I am so grateful for the willingness of you, 6-4 in trying to be the best you can be. You’ve all been willing to try new learning, from frisbee to frog math, and within each day, there’s been something that makes me genuinely laugh. Thank you for being so willing to enjoy school with me.
  3. I am grateful for my daughters and their easy-going attitudes. Going back to school after a year off has been a challenge to organize, and adjusting to new routines and new schools can be hard but they’ve both been such troopers and for that I’m grateful. 

Have an amazing long weekend everyone! I can’t wait to see what your gratitudes are!

Here are the 3 things i am thankful for:

1. I am thankful for my parents because they buy me clothes and everything else that i have. They also drive my to dance and school everyday. They pack my lunches and provide me with food when it is breakfast, lunch or dinner. That is why i am thankful for my parents.

2. I am thankful for my sister because I know she would always have my back when ever i needed her. My sister is really annoying sometimes but i still love her.

3. I am thankful for my dog Gus because when ever i come home he always runs to me and kisses me. I love my dog Gus even though i get mad at him for playing to rough or if he is a BAD boy. Gus keeps me happy and active because i take him for walks a lot. That is why I am thankful Gus.

Three Things That I am thankful For:

1. My sister Olivia because she always makes me laugh even if I am annoyed, mad, or sad about anything. She is the funniest person I have ever met (and the most annoying). Same even if my sister is sad I can always make her happy or laugh. She will always give me weird and funny faces that are hilarious and can make ANYONE happy!

2. My Mom and Dad are two of the many people I am thankful for. I am thankful to my parents because without them I would not be here. My dad provides and makes money for my family, ( he works on a computer and makes websites for company's)he also buys the best presents he will make a list for me or my sister when ever we say we would like something. he will keep it in mind until Christmas or a birthday. My mom is a stay at home mom and without her I would not have this personality! She makes me my sister and I food every morning and night even if she is tired, she will always be happy when she sees me and my sister come home. ( also without my parents I would not have been named after the wonderful show named Gilmore Girls!)

3. Last but not least I am thankful for my friends! Not just my friends here but at my old school to! My friends at my old school are the people I grew up with, played with and had good times with. So when I moved here I was excited to make more friends such as Addison, Paige, Brooklyn.M. That was in grade 4 and now I know and have so many more friends. Without knowing Addison I would still not know where everything was. So for that I am grateful to have such funny, weird, energetic, and happy friends.

One last thing I am thankful to have Mr.Steltman's my teacher he is the most funny and energetic teacher I have ever known, as my grade 6 teacher, I hope everyone agrees with me too!
