In class today, we read a book called How Full is Your Bucket?  Here is a short summary of the book:

"Each of us has an invisible bucket. When our bucket is full, we feel great. When it's empty, we feel awful. Yet most children (and many adults) don't realize the importance of having a full bucket throughout the day.
In How Full Is Your Bucket? For Kids, Felix begins to see how every interaction in a day either fills or empties his bucket. Felix then realizes that everything he says or does to other people fills or empties their buckets as well.
Follow along with Felix as he learns how easy it can be to fill the buckets of his classmates, teachers, and family members. Before the day is over, you'll see how Felix learns to be a great bucket filler, and in the process, discovers that filling someone else's bucket also fills his own."

In the month of December, we will  be focusing on how to better our community by doing and saying good things.  Ask your child every night, what did he/she did in school to help fill a classmate's bucket. When we help others feel good, we help ourselves!
