Learning To Fill Buckets

Mr. Phillips read the book "Have You Filled a Bucket Today? "

Carol McCloud wrote a book called "Have You Filled A Bucket Today? (A Guide to Daily Happiness For Kids)". The premise of the book is the idea that we all carry an invisible bucket that contains our feelings. When our bucket is full, we feel great. When our bucket is empty, we feel sad. A bucket filler is someone who says or does nice things for other people. By doing this, they are filling other people's buckets and filling their own bucket at the same time.
On the other hand, a bucket dipper says or does things to cause other people to feel bad. A bucket dipper empties their bucket when they say and do mean things.

Our class is earning stars for our bucket - today we got our first star for having everybody "whole body" listening. We can earn stars for our bucket by being kind, caring and helpful because when we do these things we are filling the buckets of others.
