How to fill someone's bucket...

A few months ago I did a post
 about filling another person's bucket.


I ran across this poster on Pinterest
and thought it was a perfect way 
to teach kids about being a friend
and about bucket filling.


How do you fill someone's bucket?


  BE POLITE
say hello
offer help
HOLD THE DOOR
S M I L E
PAY A COMPLIMENT
use “please” and “thank you"


CTP has made bucket filling even easier. 

Now we have "real" buckets 
in the form of 6" cut outs .



Kids can write a compliment to a friend 
on a strip of paper and put it in 
their friend's bucket. 

In this display I slit the top of each bucket 
so the strips of paper would slip easily inside.



Kate told me they do this in her class.
At the end of the day the teacher collects 
all the strips and reads the compliments 
along with the name of the bucket filler
to the class. 


They are making a chain 
from all the strips of compliments. 



Their goal is 5000 links in the chain 
by the end of the year.

If you are looking for a friend
you will find they are few.

If you are looking to be a friend
you will find them everywhere.
