I started bucket filling in my class two years ago and my kids loved it! It was such a success that I decided to keep at it this year and it goes PERFECTLY with the classwide kindness initiative that’s being put into effect this year The first thing we do is read the book Have You Filled A Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud. Students then write notes of encouragement to the class and me. I write notes to the students, too. At the end of the week, we read the notes aloud. It is a great way to end the week. This promotes kindness and positivity in the class.
