Hello everyone! I hope you had a blessed and festive Thanksgiving with family and friends. Welcome back into the swing of things!
Tomorrow I'll start teaching our bucket-filling lesson in kindergarten classrooms. Like the last first grade lesson, we'll read the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud, and discuss bucket-filling, bucket-dipping, and "putting a lid on your bucket" to protect your feelings when someone is being unkind to you.
Then I'll sent up a blue paper "pond" filled with paper fish. I've put a paper clip on each fish, and written an action that is bucket-filling, bucket-dipping, or putting a lid on your bucket. Kids will "go fishing" with a magnet attached to a pencil and determine if the situation they pull from the pond is bucket-filling, bucket-dipping, or using their lid. They'll drop it in (what else?) a bucket with one of those three labels. Hopefully this will help our students understand exactly what we mean by "being a bucket-filler," and also give them some good ideas for choices to make at home and school.
I'll see Henry, Miller, D. Mitchell, Wood/Sullivan, Tindle, Henderson, and Curry this week. All other K classes will take place next week. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know!
Thank you very much for reading. We are glad you are here!
