Fill Up Your Stocking

Back in September, I read the book How Full is Your Bucket aloud to the students. In the book, a boy learns that each of us has an invisible bucket above our heads. When someone says something kind or is a good friend, a drop of water lands in the bucket. But, when someone is mean or says something negative, the drops of water spill from the bucket. The boy learns that filling up someone’s bucket feels much better than spilling the bucket.

During the month of December, the kindergartener’s will work to fill up their friends’ stockings. Students will write compliments that describe gratitudes and appreciations. I am very proud of their work and their excitement with this activity. The stockings are sure filling up! Students will read their compliments during our Gingerbread Party on December 19.  In the meantime, here are a few examples:
