We have been focusing on building friendships these past two weeks and are building towards the construction of our class mission next week. You may have seen these hanging outside other doors at Barretts, these missions serve as the keystone of our work through the 7 Habits character education process. We learned today that everyone has an invisible bucket that can be filled when people say or do nice things for us. Likewise, people can dip into our buckets when they choose to be unkind or hurtful in what they say and do. We have two friends, Lovey Lion and Carey Bear, who will be on the look out for bucket fillers and will travel home with a student or two each day who are Brilliant Bucket Fillers. The Bucket Buddies will get to spend the night at the students home and will come back to school the next morning to look for more bucket filling.
Today in readers workshop we learned what it looks like to take care of books and even had the chance to make our own to keep in our book box. The children showed me how they keep their books nicely on the tables, turn pages at the corners, and return the books to the proper places in the room for storage. They really impressed me and will be ready for books of their own in no time!
