Teaching the Whole Child Bucket Fillers Self-Advocacy The art of an apology Part of our job as educators is to help your child develop socially and emotionally. Bucket Filling gives students a common language to communicate their feelings -We “speak the same language” across the grade level to help students communicate their thoughts and feelings beyond the classroom -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… ________. When they verbalize what they have done it has more of an impact and students are less likely to do it again.
