After emptying his siser's bucket, Felix experiences his bucket being emptied at school and refilled again.

As a class, we will discuss what actions filled and emptied the character's buckets. We will brainstorm ways to fill other students' buckets in the school and begin to discuss creating a school wide program.]]> 2016-08-06 04:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/missamanda747/jk56oymijo6f/wish/117632896 missamanda747 https://padlet.com/missamanda747/jk56oymijo6f/wish/117632917 by Carol McCloud

This book introduces the invisible bucket that we all carry. It discusses what fills a bucket and what can empty the bucket.

We will implement a class bucket in which a water drop will be added to the bucket when a student in the class fills someone else's bucket, or a water drop will be taken out if a classmate does something to empty another's bucket. ]]> 2016-08-06 04:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/missamanda747/jk56oymijo6f/wish/117632917 missamanda747 https://padlet.com/missamanda747/jk56oymijo6f/wish/117644550 by Elizabeth Verdick

This is a short, simple book that describes what words can do.

Often times, students are not aware of the power of their words. After reading this book, as a class we will brainstorm kind words that we can use and hurtful words we should not use.]]> 2016-08-06 20:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/missamanda747/jk56oymijo6f/wish/117644550 missamanda747 https://padlet.com/missamanda747/jk56oymijo6f/wish/117647341 by Eric Munson
Jeremy moves into the neighborhood and ruins a little boy's summer by laughing at him at the baseball field and becoming friends with his best friend. The little boy decides Jeremy is his enemy...until they play together and the little boy decides that Jeremy is no longer his enemy. After reading the text, as a class, I prompt a discussion about what happened in the text and ask students about why someone might be their enemy and how they could change that.]]> 2016-08-07 01:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/missamanda747/jk56oymijo6f/wish/117647341 missamanda747 https://padlet.com/missamanda747/jk56oymijo6f/wish/117650826 As a class, we will come up with a pledge to sign that states that we will be kind to one another and not tolerate bullying in our classroom.
