This morning the Cardinals read Have You Filled a Bucket Today? The book talks about being a bucket filler and a bucket dipper. The book gives examples and stories of what people can do to fill your bucket, as well as dip your bucket. Before reading, the Cardinals made predictions as to what it may mean to be a bucket filler. Here is a list of some predictions:
Syler: when someone is hurt they get a bandaid
Mattie: To get some ice for other people
Seren: To be nice to someone
Tessa: Helping someone get anything they need
Shiv: When someone is crying you can help them to feel better and get them a bandaid
Logan: To put water in it
Corrine: Put a lot of water in it
After reading the book, we went over our predictions and made a list of some other ways you could fill a bucket.
Taylor: If you get hurt and get a bandaid
Aarav: By telling someone you love them
Gabby: If you get hurt you get a bandaid
Max: Putting water in it
Zoë: Put stars in it
Joey: I can give a friend a hug
Toby: In Maryland I filled buckets with sand and water
Jonah: Say I love you
Following the story, we brought out The Cardinal Kindness Jar. We talked about keeping an eye out to see or hear acts of kindness from friends and/or bucket filling, a pompom will be added to the jar. Once the jar is filled, the class will collaboratively come up with an idea to celebrate all our acts of kindness!
Next up, flubber making!
The Cardinals worked together to complete the flubber recipe. Friends measured, poured and mixed all the ingredients to make a successful batch of flubber.
After adding the yellow food coloring, friends thought that the yellow flubber looked like a scrambled egg!
Ask your Cardinal what the flubber felt like.
