19. Bucket Fillers!
We will embark on the journey to become bucket fillers. Bucket Fillers is a springboard to the educational character development program Bucketfillers for Life developed by Merrill Lundgren.
Basically it says that we all carry an invisible bucket that contains our feelings. When our bucket is full, we feel great. When our bucket is empty, we feel sad. A bucket filler is someone who says or does nice things for other people. By doing this, they are filling other people's buckets and filling their own bucket at the same time. On the other hand, a bucket dipper says or does things to cause other people to feel bad. A bucket dipper empties their bucket when they say and do mean things.
In our classroom, each student has a bucket. Everyone is encouraged to fill the buckets by writing kind words and compliments to each other. On Fridays, we empty the buckets and read the nice things our friends left for us when they filled our buckets.
