Word of the Mondy Teamwork!
Hello everyone! We have a new word of the month we’re chatting about on our mats in May.Teamwork!T ogetherE veryoneA chievesM ore!Students from Chang’s Taekwondo Martial Arts in South Surrey, Cloverdale, Tsawwassen, Aldergrove, and Mission will be learning about this very important word for the whole month of may.Here are a few of the key points you can discuss with your martial arts at home.What are various teams we are a part of?
- Home
- School
- Taekwondo
- Community
Home:We can use teamwork to… Clean up our belongings, and help keep communal areas clean. We can call these ‘Family Contributions.’Get to school on time!Get to Taekwondo on time!School:We can use teamwork to…Learn about new thingsPlay games with friendsTaekwondo:Learn a new skillWelcome and teach new studentsClean up our equipmentCommunity:How can we use teamwork to…Clean up our neighbourhoodGive back to those less fortunate than usDiscuss sportsmanship!When we win, what sort of language should we use?When we lose, what sort of language should we use?Is it ok to lose?“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”—Winston ChurchillWe can also discuss what part of the team our martial artist identifies as.There are 4 main roles in a team:
- Leader
- Encourager
- Implementer
- Idea-er (haha)
So which role does your child identify with? Which role do YOU identify with? Use this to open up a conversation about teamwork and what they can do to improve their surroundings. We want our Taekwondo students to feel empowered, and it starts with YOU!“Teamwork makes the dreamwork!”Train hard, work together, and see you on the mats!
