have you filled a bucket today?




Have you filled a bucket today? by Carol McCloud, is a wonderful book for students and teachers. I was first introduced to the book in our Fundamentals of Teaching class which inspired me to go out an acquire a copy of my own. The book has a simple, yet powerful message which encourages positive behaviour and is written in a way that makes it easy for children to understand how rewarding it is to express kindness and appreciate to one another. The book helps young children and adolescence to see the value of treating others with respect and kindness, and models how to be a caring, kind, and responsible person. The author has also created an accompanying website, that offers resources and and tools to help create bucket-filling classrooms. A classroom which promotes bucket-filling allows for a learning environment where all students feel safe, respected, and motivated to learn and grow.
