Have You Filled a Bucket Today?
In the beginning of the year, we start off by reading the story "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" by Carol McCloud. This story discusses "bucket fillers" who are people who are kind, respectful, and positive; it also discusses "bucket dippers:" people who are unkind and unfriendly. Each student will receive his/her own bucket. When they are caught being a bucket filler, they will earn a "warm fuzzy" or pom-pom in their bucket, When they fill their bucket, they earn a sticker from our class's Sticker Store!
Wescosville SOAR Pledge
Every student at Wescosville will recite the SOAR Pledge every morning. This pledge includes the ways we can be a successful and positive student as we grow at WES. When we are caught SOARing, we can earn a SOAR ticket. The SOAR tickets can be used during our monthly SOAR carts to earn prizes OR at our end of trimester celebrations!
SOAR Pledge:
As a Wescsoville Owl, I will SOAR...
S: I will strive for excellence
O: I will own my behavior
A: I will act in a safe manner
R: I will respect others
Secret Student!
At the beginning of each day a student is randomly selected, but the student's name is not disclosed. I will be on the lookout for SOARing behavior throughout the day, and if the student meets and/or exceeds expectations, that child's name will be revealed at the end of the day and rewarded a prize from our Prize Basket! Each child will have a turn to be the Secret Student multiple times.
