    Dear Parent(s):

    During the month of February we will be focusing on the character development project called
    Bucket Filling. We will continue with the 7 Habits in March.
    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.
    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 inconsiderate, uncaring, or
    disrespectful, they dip into buckets and remove those good feelings. Even the youngest child
    understands that actions and words can either fill a bucket or dip into it. During the month of
    February we are encouraging, reminding, and recognizing everyones efforts to be bucket fillers at
    home, at school, and everywhere they go. We are excited about filling each others buckets and
    look forward to your support.
    Teachers will be sending home bucket filling stars, hearts, and crosses. We encourage you to use
    these forms to fill the bucket of your child, a teacher, a parent at our school, coaches and
    community members. Simply cut out the shape provided, fill out the information and return it to
    the school in your childs agenda so that we can add it to our bucket filling bulletin board at school.
    We encourage you to discuss the following questions with your child to remind them of how much
    fun bucket filling can be.
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.

    Whose bucket did you fill?


    What did you say or do?
    How did you feel?
    How did the other person feel?

    Thank you for taking the time to discuss this with your child,
    Mrs. Tracy Trieber
