Bucketfilling 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 unkind, inconsiderate, uncaring, or disrespectful, they dip into buckets and remove those good feelings. Even the youngest child understands that action and words can either fill a bucket or dip into it.

During this school year we are encouraging, reminding, and recognizing everyone's efforts to be bucketfillers at home, at school, and everywhere they go. If you would like to learn more about bucketfilling, please check out Bucket Fillers website www.bucketfillers101.com
