Filling Our Buckets Through Acts of Kindness

We read another wonderful book today that reminded us about what it means to be a "bucket filler". We learned that really all it takes to help fill others' buckets as well as keep our own full are acts of kindness.  We feel so much happier and pleasant when we do kind thins for others and when others do kind things to us. Together we brain-stormed many examples of acts of kindness, both big and small.  We realized that even just smiling at someone can add some "water" to their bucket. 

In our classroom we started a "Kindness Chain" today. For their first links in the chain, each student wrote a way that they were kind to someone over the vacation week.  We hope to watch our chain grow and grow over the next weeks!!!
