The Value of Bucket Filling



For the past several years I've used the popular Bucket Filler books by Carol McCloud in my classroom.

If you've not taken a peek at this series it is a MUST do.  At the start of every school year I begin the bucket filler program. I have this bulletin board display of personalized buckets for classmates to add positive bucket filler thoughts.

Here's my Bucket Filler Bulletin Board. I personalized each bucket with student's names and taped them to party favor treat boxes.  


 

I recently started a Facebook Group for teachers to share ideas, questions, and inspiration. 
Come Join the group!
 (Freebie ideas and giveaways are sometimes shared there!)

I've also created seasonal themed bucket filler notes. Grab them here:
