Dear students,
Each new year, two of my mentors challenge teachers to find their One Little Word (OLW). The OLW is one word that will represent, or symbolize, the year ahead. The word should be personal and thoughtful. My mentors spend weeks thinking about their OLW, making sure they select a word that will really guide them.
I have thought a great deal about my OLW. For 2019, I selected "trust" as my One Little Word. I selected "trust" because I don't always trust God's plan and try to make my own way. I need this word to remind me to trust not only His plan for me but also to trust in the strengths and talents He has blessed me with, rather than worry about the future. Trust can apply to my life in so many ways - through friends, work, my students, my family, myself, and ultimately, God's plan for me. I will use this word to guide me through the days of 2019.

seven is my word of the year because it's my favirote number and every time I think about the number I do better that is why seven is my word of the year.

ReplyDeleteMy word is champion
ReplyDeleteI chose the word champion because I want to win the championchip this year. I want the Rams to win the championchip and face the Saints. I want Clemson to beat Alabama in the championchip. I want the Tennessee VOLS to win a championchip again. I want the Titans to win a championchip too.

My one little word is HOPE. My one little word is hope because I need to have hope with god and many more things in my life, like winning a basketball game, or more important things like having food and water and a roof over my head. I can use this one little word to guide my year, by keeping it in my head so I will never forget to use it during the rest of my school year.

Focus
DeleteI want to be able to focus better to help me work on more important things like homework, and math, or reading, or helping the earth, and environment, also I want to be able to find stuff easier and focusing will help me so that.
My OWL is clear because I want to clear my path for the new year, and foucus on god to make my path strait.

My OWL is AWARENESS, that's mine because this year I want to be more aware of others and of everything I have. This will also help me learn PATIENCE, and THANKFULNESS.

My one little word is FRIENDSHIP. This is my word because I want to become better friends with the girls in my grade and people that I don’t go to school with. I want to reach out to people who are shy and quiet. This word will help me make more friends and help me be a better friend to people with all personalities.

I have thought a great deal for my OLW. I selected love. It applies to my
ReplyDeleteLife because I love my family, friends,and my teachers. How it can guide me through the year is to love god and everyone around me. How I can use love is to donate food to people or write them a nice card.
my owl is fun because I want to have fun.
ReplyDeleteMy word for the year would be today. One reason why is, I always get stressed about the next big thing. Secondly, I just need to focus on today. Last, I bet I will have a better day if I focus on today. Roman

ReplyDeleteMy One Little Word is grace. This applies to my life because I need to show grace even if I am mad.for example if someone scares me I will get mad. But... I will show grace and forgive the person who scared me by saying I forgive you. I can use One Little Word in my grace in my guide year by praying to god. _julia
My “ OLW “ is the word “ EXPRESS”. I chose that word because I need to express my feelings more often than I usually do. This is also a new goal I have for the New year. This word will help me to remember to express my feelings when I get mad. Instead of pouring out my feelings at once, I can express my feelings.

My olw is swim because i love swimming it is a very fun activity
ReplyDeleteit is 2019
DeleteMy OLW is smart. I am about to take a test, too. I am very worried about it. My parents say it will be fine, but this is a HUGE deal for me. If I don’t get a good score on this test, I will be DEVASTATED. This is why I would like to be smarter for the test.
ReplyDeleteMy word is BETTER because I had some trouble in 2018. 2019 will be a better year because I know how things work in fourth grade. I have a homework sistem down so I’m really happy with that.

My OLW is “love”. I selected this word because my siblings and I don’t always get along, but we love each other anyway.

I chose the word acceptence. I chose this word because I sometimes don’t except God’s plan. Another reason I chose this word is because I sometimes don’t want to go somewhere. Finally, I need to except others. This is why I chose the word acceptence.

My word is money. Because my friend wanted a dog for christma-s,but she did not get one. So all of my neighborhood friends are walking dogs and getting money for walking them. I heard her mom say she did not have enough money for a dog. Everyone thinks she deserves one for being the best friend she could ever be. She helps us when we fall. And bose not complan. Her name is Sarah Grace. ( Sarah for short ) Bye Miller
ReplyDeleteMy word is serving. I think that serving is a big thing because it can make other people lives easier and happier. Also knowing that we want to love our neighbors means that we should help each other. I’m learning that you can do a little thing that makes you and who you are serving a better person, also a happier person. The definition of the word serving means to do something for others. For example, making you mom or dad's coffee in the morning. One more example is giving food to the homeless. LIttle and big deeds make people so happy.
