Students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade have been focusing on being a "Bucket Filler". What is Bucket Filling you ask? Bucket Filling is when you do something kind for others. Have You Filled a Bucket Today, written by Carol McCloud is a wonderful story that teaches children to be kind to others. But, watch out for the Bucket Dippers! This year, I found a different version of Have You Filled a Bucket Today, called Bucket Filling from A to Z. Students in second grade created a "Bucket Filling" Tips Acrostic Poem using the first letters in their names. Students got very creative! Some examples are:
R: Respect Everybody
C: Listen while others are talking
B: Be a friend and not a bully
O: Offer help
A: Accept differences
T: Tell someone a nice thing
S: Smile and see what happens :)
