I used to get a kick out of the "Word on the Street" on "Sesame Street." It was always a good word, fun to say, and I'd remember it the rest of the day.
Well, we're now doing something similar: a daily family word-of-the-day. Except we choose our word at the end of the day, during dinner, and write it on the calendar. Ours is not a vocabulary word. Part journaling, part gratitude practice, the word of the day allows us to encapsulate our day.
Swimming. Tooth. School. Cold.
These are the first four words of the year, all unanimously agreed upon. I'm sure there will be days when there is more than one word. And that's fine too.
I wonder what the word will be today?
I really like this idea. A friend of mine has a chalkboard in her kitchen and each and everyday she writes a new word and it's definition. I admire you both for this because I'm too lazy and would never stick with it!!!
