Mrs. Webb & Mrs. Christie's Second Grade News WELCOME TO SECOND GRADE! Grow - Dream - Learn - Succeed A NOTE TO PARENTS.... Please use this page as a resource to become informed and to communicate with me. Add your name to the "notify me" list and every time I update you will receive an e mail. BUCKET FILLERS
The idea of Bucket Fillers is based on the book "How Full Is Your Bucket" by Tom Rath. There are also several children's books. One is 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 in our writing center mailboxes. Everyone is encouraged to fill the buckets by writing kind words and compliments to each other. At the end of the week, we empty the buckets and read the nice things our friends left for us when they filled our buckets.
