Olivia and Ave Kate's school has been on a bucket filling campaign. They have been learning about bucket fillers and bucket dippers. Being kind, courteous, and thoughtful to others helps fill their bucket. Being rude and disrespectful to others and hurting their feelings dips into their buckets. The children also learn that by filling other buckets that theirs get filled in return by feeling good about themselves. I think it is a great concept of teaching. It is based on a the book "Have you Filled a Bucket Today?" Today the author of the book Carol McCloud was at their school this morning to speak to the students about bucket filling and awarded their school as the first Mississippi school to be awarded as a bucket filling school.
How wonderful it would be if everyone became more aware of being bucket fillers instead of bucket drainers. So just ask yourself-Have YOU filled a bucket today??
