The tool is used for students to give a compliment\/uplift their classmates. The teacher could read a book that has to do with bucket filling and then students will create their bucket for classmates to fill. It is helpful for classroom environment and confidence.<\/p>\n
The tool should be used weekly. Students will be able to create their buckets with materials provided, and then will be given classmate names. The names received would be the classmates that they will be writing a bucket filler note to for the first day. After the first day, it is important to encourage students to continue filling their classmate’s buckets throughout the week. It’s important for students to know that these are supposed to be serious. Compliments, uplifting messages, words of encouragement, etc. are all great things to fill buckets with. I had such a great time using this tool and all of the students really loved it also. As I peaked through some notes that students made, my heart was so warm and I know that theirs were too.<\/p>\n
I placed it in the supportive phase because the tool supports students and encourages them to be kind to their classmates. I also think it can be used for the other two phases as well, depending on the classroom environment that is already established. If you are having problems with students not getting along, this tool could be helpful for students to come together and be kind to each other. It could also be preventative if used from the beginning of the school year to set a tone of how we treat each other.<\/p>\n
