Filling Up Buckets

Teaching students about community and citizenship isn't always in one of  your standards, but it is something that I love to foster within my classroom. One way that I do this is by using Bucker Fillers. During the first week of school I read the book "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" to my students. If you haven't read this book I definitely recommend it. To reinforce these concepts throughout the year, we have a student created bulletin board that is fueled by our Bucket and the Bucket Fillers that the students fill out for one another throughout the year.
