Your child also learned that we have the choice to either fill people’s buckets through kind interactions or to dip into people’s buckets by using unkind words and actions. We even spent a little time practicing filling our classmate’s buckets this week. We will refer back to this book all year during our Guidance lessons. Please ask your child about this lesson. I hope your child is having a fantastic year in Kindergarten so far. If I can be of any assistance at all, do not hesitate to call or email me.
This week in Guidance, we read one of my favorite books--Have You Filled a Bucket Today? By Carol McCloud. This book introduces the concepts of self esteem and bullying in a simple and concrete way that even young children can conceptualize by saying that everyone carries around an invisible bucket. The purpose of the bucket is to hold your good thoughts and good feelings about yourself. When your bucket is full you feel happy, loved, special etc, but when your bucket is empty, you feel sad, lonely and left out.
