What an amazing thing for the students! This is a great book. It really explains to the students how to treat one another. This all started with our Kindergarten classes. The teachers shared and lots of us were hooked!! My students are already excited about filling each other's buckets and are working well together. They really enjoyed the book. If you have not read it, I encourage you to read it!! Even we, as parents, have buckets to be filled and we fill our children's buckets every single day!
When I asked the students the question "How can we be bucketfillers?" Their responses were:
**comfort someone who's sad.
**say "thank you"
**share things
**help soneone when they drop things
**if you find money, turn it in to the office
**saying "hello" to someone when you see them
**respecting others' property
**cleaning our room
**helping our parents keep our houses clean
**following rules
**say "good morning" people who may not be your best friends
**help people carry things and open doors for people
**being nice
**help an old person
**apologize if you hurt someone or offend them
**help people reach
**don't dip into other people's buckets
