Be+a+Bucket+Filler

At Scotts Ridge Elementary we are practicing our Positive Behavior to earn "SAILs". Every 25 sails we earn our class will choose a reward! One way to encourage positive behavior is through learning about how our actions affect others, and how this in turn affects us. Below is great information about being a Bucket Filler. Several books have been written about bucket fillers. Carol McCloud wrote a book called "Have You Filled A Bucket Today? (A Guide to Daily Happiness For Kids)". The premise of the book is the idea that we all carry an invisible bucket that contains our feelings. When our bucket is full, we feel great. When our bucket is empty, we feel sad. A bucket filler is someone who says or does nice things for other people. By doing this, they are filling other people's buckets and filling their own bucket at the same time.
