This story gives a new perspective on our own actions and words as the main character's grandfather teaches the impact we can have on others. This is a great book for teaching kindness to children and challenging them to be “bucket fillers“ to one another.

The author uses both colors and composition throughout this book to better portray the message of the story. The illustrator used bright colors for the heart and stars to portray how they move in and out of everyone's buckets. In the composition of the story, the illustrator shows how the amount in the bucket will change due to certain circumstances.

Have you Filled a Bucket Today? is a great RF picture book by Carol McCloud. It is winner of a Mom's Choice Award and would be great for a beginning of the year RA to help students to learn about kindness and what it looks like in the classroom and at home. #UCFLAE3414SU20

Ameyer32 This story would be great to pair with UDL 8.3, foster collaboration and community by making the class a “family“. It is also good for ESOL strategy 3, encourage self-talk and positive thinking.
Great resources to go along with this book an be found at https://www.weareteachers.com/bucket-filler-activities/ 5y

bsiqueira Apryl, this books seems so adorable! I will have to add it to my collection. I like that you used collaborating by making the class a family. You strategies line up beautifully. Great post! 5y

Ameyer32 It is a really cute book! I have read this one or one similar to it called Fill a Bucket every single first week of school for the last 10 years that I have taught VPK. My kids (students) always say things like, “Miss Apryl, Johnny is being a bucket dipper“. 5y

Ameyer32 They really grasp the concept of the story and how saying kind things fills your bucket and negative things empties your bucket. Its super cute to see them at 4 years old and how their comprehension progresses so fast. 5y

DrSpalding There are several bucket filler books out there. Your connection to VPK is adorable… Bucket dipper or bucket filler! Excellent resource and strategy/principle alignment. 5y

This book written by Carol McCloud and illustrated by David Messings award winning like New York‘s best seller. I would say this book is MF and would be a great RA in the classroom. This book is about teaching students to be kind and filling peoples bucket with happiness. #ucflae3414su19

Stephanie5 The ESOL strategy that would be used is 46 with hands on activities. The UDL would be 5.2. The activity in order to accomplish this would be https://bucketfillers101.com/free-resources/ to included the many activities that could be used with this book. 6y

DrSpalding I love this book. While some of your other posts scream social studies, this does not however it is a book that you should integrate into your classroom related to social studies and building a positive classroom community. 6y

This book is read to every child at Maya‘s elementary school. They incorporate bucket filling into daily life through “Outstanding Owls”, where each day students and teachers recognize others when someone filled their bucket. I had actually never read the book, even though Maya has it memorized!

❤️ the book, and I 💜 bucket filling! Such a a great way to teach kindness.

This is used by the teachers in the K-2 of my Kidd‘s school, along with How Full is Your Bucket? The message of both is easy for kids to understand, and I think it is helpful. It is a nice way to get kids to think about how what they do effects others.
