Paige Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Can someone please explain how to use this and what products are essential? I have seen the kits on their page but I can't figure out how all the pieces would be used together or what I would actually use with our family. I'm probably not going to hang up a bunch of posters, for instance, so I think I don't want a kit, but I don't know what I do want- and I do want something.

Chelli Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Here is my review on my blog: http://www.theplantedtrees.blogspot.com/2011/10/mama-monday-character-training.html All we use are the cards. Here is the link: http://www.wechoosevirtues.com/shop/virtue-flash-cards-faith-based-family HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdinaryTime Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 We love the program! We use the cards, which I laminated. I did get the sticker chart, but you could easily make your own much cheaper. I introduced 2 virtues a week. Everday at breakfast we would go over the virtues we covered. The kids would repeat the "catch phrase" together and I would read the rest. We sometimes would make little somgs or hand motions up to memorize the catch phrase. With 6 weeks even the three year old had them all memorized. We used the chart to reward the kids' practicing the virtue. Now I use the virtues as the basis for other rewards program. For example, during Advent, the kids would earn paper links to add to the paper chain decorating the kitchen for Christmas. During Lent, they'll probably be rewarded jelly beans to be put in their Easter Basket. It's nice that we have a set group of virtues to work on that everyone knows and understands.

teeniebeenie6 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 These look great! Does anyone know what version of the Bible is used for the verses on the cards? I couldn't find that on the website. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawlas Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It's funny you posted this cause I was just looking at this last night. I think really you only need to ge the cards, or maybe even just the poster. I'd like the teacher's book. Anyone have it and use it? I suppoe the most important part are the virtues with the little saying that goes with them, but the having ideas and activities might be nice too? I'm bummed that I missed the 30% off for Black Friday last November! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay3fer Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Actually, I wanted to ask about the verses as well - how many would you say are OT vs NT? Approximately? We're Jewish; trying to decided if we need the "faith-based" (our home is!) or "community" version... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspasia Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I just bought these and we're getting ready to start using them. What we're going to do is just choose one virtue per week. We'll post the card on our Morning Board and go over it along with everything else. I also made copy work pages for dd to write both little sayings for each virtue (they have what it IS on one side and what it ISN'T on the other). I then searched the Internet for little coloring pages that exemplified th virtues (couldn't find one for every single virtue but did for most). And I'm going to look for some story books and stuff. And I was planning on some sort of reward when I catch her practicing the virtue. I'm still working on it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the specific breakdown: Philippians-1 Romans-1 Psalms-4 Proverbs-4 Ecclesiastes-1 Job-1 HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay3fer Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Sounds good; in that case, I'd probably rather have the scriptures than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommie_Jen Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I just ordered this morning and came here to search! Funny! I ordered the faith-based parenting cards and the $5 teacher book download. Figured for $5, it would help give me a bit of direction. And "VIRTUE15" will get you a 15% discount!

Jay3fer Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Ordered these! Maybe I'll find some way to add this to the Beautiful Feet Character Guidebook to make it into a more complete curriculum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
