We Believe
It takes an INWARD attitude to influence OUTWARD behavior. That's what we
mean by values. A value is an inward belief or attitude that affects
someone's outward behavior. There are common attitudes that every parent and
teacher want children to learn and demonstrate. There are the ways values
affect behavior.

| 1) |
TEACHER' GUIDE - This booklet provides
value applications for the nine-month school year. A teacher is equipped
with lesson plans and bulletin board ideas that may be implemented as appropriate
for each classroom. The lesson plans are also provided at two academic
levels, K-2 and 3-5. Included in the guide are literature suggestions that
may be displayed in the library by the media specialist. Administrators
at the school may also use the guide to make the value emphasis school-wide
through use of the weekly announcement suggestions.

Table Cards – These two-sided
cards are provided in both Spanish and English. Each card displays the
value and definition and may be used by teachers as a visual display on
their desks or placed on cafeteria tables. They are also sent home with
each student and may be placed in a convenient location in the home. Inside
are suggestions for conversation starters, activities and discussion ideas
similar to those used in the classroom.

POSTERS – These colorful pieces
reinforce the year’s values and may be placed strategically throughout
the school (classrooms, cafeteria, library, offices, etc.) Each child’s
name may be added to the chart and recognition made when they are “caught” showing
the values.

Value-Able Cards – These incentive
cards are provided as a reward to students who are “caught” displaying
the values. The card identifies the value that the student has shown and
is signed by the teacher or administrator who awards it. The card may be
taken by the student to the supporting Chick-fil-A restaurant and redeemed
for a free Chick-fil-A kid’s meal.
