To help start off the year, the kindergarten team read "Have You Filled A Bucket Today?" with students. This book emphasizes positive behavior by using the concept of an invisible bucket to show children how simple it is to express kindness and love by "filling a bucket." It also helps children understand that "bucket dipping" is a negative behavior but can be changed with one kind act.
