You may have heard about fishing at Covington Elementary School from your child, a teacher or from others in the community. What is fishing, you maybe asking yourself? Fishing is a behavior philosophy that we adopted along with the rest of the parish to encourage positive behaviors in the school and throughout our lives.
The four parts of the fish philosophy are:
BE THERE - To be there is to show others
that you are there mentally. Make good eye contact, smile, nod your
head, and be aware of your tone of voice. You can multi-task with "stuff,
" but you need to "be there" for people.
CHOOSE
YOUR ATTITUDE - When you learn you have the
power to choose your response to what life brings. If you find yourself
with an attitude that is not what you want it to be, you can choose a
new one. The attitude you have right now is the one you are choosing.
What attitude will you choose today?
MAKE
THEIR DAY - When you do something for someone
else, you "make someone's day" (or moment). It doesn't matter
how big or small it is, it really is the thought that counts.
HAVE
FUN LEARNING- Work made fun gets done, especially
when we choose to do serious tasks in a lighthearted, spontaneous way.
