We have been learning a lot about how to be a respectful member of our classroom. We have been reading a lot of stories around this topic. We began the year with the book "Have You Filled A Bucket Today?" written by Carol McCloud. With this story we learned that everyone has an imaginary bucket that holds their good feelings. When we are kind and thoughtful, we can help to fill that person's bucket. If we are not kind, we are bucket dippers, and that does not make others feel good. Our goal is to fill everyone's bucket and in doing so, we also fill our own! This song has been a favorite for the class.
