Have You Filled A Bucket Today?

Yesterday our Youth and Family Worker, Mr. Baker, visited our class to share the book Have You Filled A Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud.

This is a wonderful book with an important message.  The book explains that everyone in the world carries around an invisible bucket.  Buckets carry good feelings.  You can easily fill someone’s bucket with kind words and kind deeds thus being a “bucket filler”; but, buckets can be emptied by “bucket dippers” who take out your good feelings.  Bullies are “bucket dippers” and bullies themselves carry empty buckets.  Most importantly, when you fill up someone else’s bucket your bucket gets filled too!  Now when Mr. Baker sees us around school he asks: “have you filled a bucket today”?
