⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I use this in SO many different ways in my classroom. I have a bulletin board in my classroom that reminds them, “kind people fill buckets”. We read stories about being bucket fillers, we do coloring pages that they enjoy, and we are constantly talking about wanting to be people that do things to FILL others buckets instead of DIPPING in them. (ex. Thank you ____ for doing your job in the hallway you are filling my bucket!” – Makenzie V.
