We are Bucket Fillers

 Yesterday we read "Have you Filled a Bucket Today?" by Carol McCloud.  The book explains that we all carry an invisible bucket in which we keep our good thoughts and good feelings about ourselves. When our buckets are full, we are happy; when our buckets are empty, we are sad.  You fill a bucket when you show love to someone, when you smile, make someone feel special or do something kind. That’s being a bucket filler. A bucket filler is someone who says or does nice things to other people. Bucket fillers are those who help without being asked or give hugs and compliments. By filling other people's buckets, we fill our own bucket too! 

This is a song that goes along with the book that we read.  I found the cute little song on YouTube and the Kids loved it!  After reading about being a bucket filler we wrote about how we could be bucket fillers in our classroom.  All of my wonderful bucket fillers did awesome on this activity!
