Have You Filled a Bucket Today

Last week we read the book, Have You Filled a Bucket Today?  The book is about how we all have invisible buckets.  Our bucket holds our good thoughts and feelings about our self.  We feel happy and good when our buckets are full and sad and lonely when our buckets are empty.  As a class we discussed how we can fill each other’s buckets.  We talked about how we can fill someone’s bucket by saying something kind, giving someone a smile, being nice to someone, etc.  After the read aloud we completed sheets of paper congratulating our classmates when we caught them being a bucket filler.  Each student has a hook in our classroom where they hang their bucket filler notes.
