Teaching the Whole Child Bucket Fillers Communicate feelings using a bug & a wish The Act of an apology Paws for Pride Part of our job as educators is to help your child develop socially and emotionally. In every part of our day, we are helping them understand school life. Here are a few things that we use in the school setting that you may want to use at home or in your child’s social circles. -We want children to fill buckets for the sake of doing something positive – NOT just to be recognized. We want students to know that it feels good to be recognized, but the act of doing something kind makes hearts feel happy & that’s why we should do it. -Bug and a wish – communicate to others when they dip into your bucket -Act of an apology – I’m sorry for… ________.
