Bucket Filling
Radix Elementary Dear Radix School Community: Radix Elementary is a Bucket Filling school. We take pride in filling each others buckets everyday. Bucket filling is an easy-to-understand concept: Everyone carries an invisible bucket that holds our good thoughts and feelings. When our buckets are full, we feel happy and when our buckets are empty, we feel sad. Occasionally, we may need to cover our bucket with a lid to keep others from dipping into it. Children quickly understand that they can fill buckets when they do and say things that are kind, considerate, caring and respectful. They also learn that when they are mean, inconsiderate, uncaring, or disrespectful, they dip into buckets and remove those good feelings from others. Even the youngest child understands that actions and words can either fill a bucket or dip into it. I’m sure we all know some adults in our lives that need an understanding of this concept as well! Please help support our endeavor by encouraging your children and family members to be active bucket fillers, recognizing your child’s efforts to be bucket fillers, and reiterating the negativity of bucket dipping. If you would like to learn more about bucket filling, visit the Bucket Fillers website, www.bucketfillers101.com. Bucket Fillers also offers a free weekly e-newsletter for parents and teachers. Please click on the links to find bucket filling ideas you can print and use at home. There is also a form to complete for those extraordinary bucketfilling activities your family has participated in. Please complete the essay for this form, sign it and return it to the principal for our monthly Bucket Filler Celebrations. Looking forward to making positive changes in our classrooms, schools, homes and community as our children, staff members and family members learn to fill buckets wherever they go. Respectfully,
