According to author, Carol McCloud's book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? we all have an invisible bucket that we carry around. The amount of happiness in the bucket all depends on how we treat others and how others treat us. This week first and second graders learned that we all have the option of being a "bucket filler" :-) or a "bucket dipper" :-( We can easily fill someone's bucket by saying positive things and making them feel HAPPY! When you are a bucket filler, everyone is happy. However, if you are mean to others or bully others then their buckets become empty very quick and so does your own bucket.
By the end of the story we all decided that we want to be a "bucket filler". We will give out lots of compliments so we can fill our friends' buckets as well as our own.
