Bucketfillers

﻿media type="custom" key="9087148" Starting February 28th we are going to become bucketfillers and hopefully stop bucket dipping. We will read 2 great books about this and I have created a wall where we each have a "bucket". Each day we will take 10 - 15 minutes to "fill someone's bucket" by writing something kind about them.

Bucketfilling: saying or doing things that make people feel good about themselves, which in turn makes you feel good too.

Bucketdipping: saying or doing something to hurt someone's feelings and make them feel poorly.

We have been bucketfilling for almost 3 weeks now and over the course of time we discovered we needed to learn about the basic human emotions and how our faces give clues to how we feel. We practiced giving compliments to each other and we used the words I felt when you. This is another way to fill someone's bucket. We also wrote a class book about how we are each bucketfillers. The book is making it's way home, along with the original Have You Filled A Bucket Today book.
