How Full Is Your Bucket

As you can tell, lesson plans are on my mind...

Another activity that I will be doing 

during the first week of school

is reading this book...

How Full Is Your Bucket?  for kids...

Now I know that already this looks like it is for the little ones...

but the message is great for the big kids...

The premise is that everyone carries around an invisible bucket...

When your bucket is full...you are happy...
When it is empty...you are sad...
But what I like so much is that it teaches about filling a friend's bucket
or even a stranger's...
and how that also fills your own bucket...
It also discusses bucket dippers...
bullies...and those who hurt feelings intentionally...
This is a perfect quote to go along with the theme...

A great website with lots of ideas
 to go with this book and/or theme is
Bucket Fillers...

Happy planning!
