In our classroom, we will work hard to be "bucket fillers", not "bucket dippers"!  But what are "bucket fillers" and "bucket dippers"?  We're going to read the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today?.  

 This book tells the story of how everyone, all over the world, carries an invisible bucket with them.  The way that we treat others can fill their buckets when we are kind, or we can dip from their buckets when we use unkind words and actions.  Other people can fill or dip from our buckets too.

In the first few days of school, we will spend time learning how we can fill other peoples' buckets and learning how to avoid dipping from them!  You'll be able to fill your friends' buckets in our classroom by writing positive notes to them.  We will read what is inside of our buckets every Friday!
