In wellness, we explored kindness and caring for others by reading How Full is Your Bucket? For Kids. We learned how everyone has an "invisible bucket." When our bucket is full, we feel great. When our bucket is empty, we feel awful. We learned how our actions can make us bucket fillers or bucket dippers and how being kind, being a bucket filler, fills our bucket, too; that the way we treat others can make them happy and can change how good we feel about ourselves.
We will continue to brainstorm ways to be bucket fillers at school and home. For more information, check out:

Next, we will brainstorm other ways to make and keep friends. Picture books are a great way to teach kids how to be a good friend. For inspiration, check out the following book list: |
