Ms. O's class had a special Mystery Reader who taught us all about how to be a bucket filler! She read this book, How Full Is Your Bucket to the class. We learned all about our invisible buckets and how we each have one and everyone around us has one too. We can either fill our buckets and the buckets of others or dip from them depending on how we act and what we say. Part of the Kindergarten Experince is learning what kind of people we want to become. Do we want to be positive, helpful and kind? Do we want to become bullies and be mean? We explore how those decisions make us and those around us feel. We learn that we impact the world around us and we can make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others. Remember the poem All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten? This book teaches in to that poem. Character Education is an important part of our Curriculum at Peine Ridge and we thank you, our parents, families and friends for helping us develop the next generation of leaders. Thank you so much for volunteering your time and helping the kids develop a love for reading AND their positive outlook on life. We couldn't do it without you. Have a great weekend and thank you again for giving some of your time to helping all of our students develop a life-long love for reading. There is a video at the end of this post to help support the concepts taught in this book. Please play it at home with your child to help them learn the concepts of bucket filling and bucket dipping. How full is your bucket today?
