Caring

By Michele Confer


Be Caring

In December our school wide behavior trait is caring.  We learn at our school meeting what it means to be a caring person.

We introduce a new character development idea called Bucket Filling. 

Bucket filling is an easy-to-understand concept:  

Everyone carries an invisible bucket that holds our good thoughts and feelings. When our buckets are full, we feel happy and when our buckets are empty, we feel sad.

Children quickly understand that they can fill buckets when they do and say things that are kind, considerate, caring, and respectful. They also learn that when they are mean, inconsiderate, uncaring, or disrespectful, they dip into buckets and remove those good feelings. Even the youngest child understands that actions and words can either fill a bucket or dip into it. We will be encouraging, reminding, and recognizing everyone’s efforts to be bucket fillers at home, at school, and everywhere they go. We are excited about this and look forward to your support. If you would like to learn more about bucket filling, visit the Bucket Fillers website, www.bucketfillers101.com. 

Bucket Fillers offer a free weekly enewsletter for parents.
