Bucket Fillers- Charecter Education

Modify settings and columns

This year we'll be starting a new program in our classroom! It's based off the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids  by Carol McCloud.
We will make a class bucket together.  Then, each child will be encouraged to help "fill" each other's buckets by writing kind words to them and celebrating the great things happening in our room! At the end of each week, we'll talk about how we filled each other's buckets.

This program has several CURRICULUM GOALS :
 

1. To teach children how to reach out and express love, respect and appreciation to others

2. To help children become other-centered rather than self-centered

3. To help children express their feelings (good and bad) in a healthy manner

4. To help children understand where feelings originate and how to protect their feelings from being hurt

5. To establish a framework for more constructive words and actions and less bullying

6. To create more positive home and school environments

 

CONCEPTS LEARNED:

Bucket Filling (showing love and respect for others)

Bucket Dipping (bullying)
