The Great Kindness Challenge and Bucket Filling

    

From January 25- January 29, schools across the world participated in the Great Kindness Challenge.  This school week is devoted to doing as many acts of kindness as possible.

In Kindergarten, we began the week by reading the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today?  By using the idea that we all have an invisible bucket, it visually shows how our actions and words can help or hurt others. We decided as a class that we all wanted to be bucket fillers, not bucket dippers.

                     

On Monday we created our own buckets out of solo cups.  We decorated them with gems and stars and awaited them being filled by our friends.  A few students were away when we made the buckets, so the next day a few very kind friends spent some of their choice time helping their friend to make their own bucket.  We have such great bucket fillers in our room.

          

Throughout the week, we wrote notes to our friends on hearts and went and filled their buckets.

We also worked on a surprise for our friends.  First, we randomly picked a friends name and then used the app Doodle Buddy to draw a picture and then we wrote something nice about our friend.
