We embrace a comprehensive approach to early education so that students can reach their highest potential. Our team identifies academic, social, and emotional needs for each student and implements a personalized educational plan of action. Our bucket filling philosophy is infused throughout our school community and promotes a positive climate for all students and staff to feel safe, supported, and respected.
The idea of Bucket Fillers is based on the book "Have You Filled a Bucket Today? (A Guide to Daily Happiness For Kids)" by Carol McCloud. The premise of the book is this...
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.
The students at Bingham and Downing Schools will learn about the concept through our morning social-emotional learning (SEL) lessons. On a regular basis, we recognize students and staff for being bucket fillers. We intend to increase social-emotional learning opportunities as we thread it through our instructional day.
