For part of our Inquiry unit we have been learning about how we best learn in our learning community. We have looked at what we can do in our learning community to ensure everyone feels happy. We read the book 'Have you filled a bucket today' by Carol McCloud and discussed how we want to be bucket fillers. We don't want to be a bucket dipper(someone who doesn't do/say kind things). We have our very own, special buckets hanging across our classroom. Every time we are spotted saying/doing something nice-being a bucket filler we get to put a bucketfiller certificate into our buckets. We will then get to take our buckets home at the start of next term and share them with our families! We can be a bucket filler by.. saying kind words, listening, sharing, helping, being kind, taking turns, being polite, including others and many other ways.
Love this idea Miss Jackson, I'm sure your class now has a whole lot of certificates to fill their buckets. Hope your first week is going well : )
