Have You Filled a Bucket Today?

You may have heard your child talking about filling buckets or being a bucket filler and been a bit confused.  We recently read the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud and the students really took the book's message to heart.

The book states that everyone has an invisible bucket.  Each bucket is to hold kind thoughts and actions from others.  In order to be a "bucket filler" you need to say and do kind things to others.  This in turn also fills your bucket as well.  (There are such things at bucket dippers too, but we are of course bucket fillers in kindergarten!)

We have been practicing being great bucket fillers by using our manners, smiling at others, using kind words, and giving hugs.  Ask your child what else they can do to fill someone's bucket!

We are so lucky at Knapp that the author of Have You Filled a Bucket Today? is coming to our school on November 15!!  We will let you know what time the presentation will be; I am sure it will be great for all families to attend!!

So, don't forget to fill a bucket today!!
