Having the opportunity to visit each classroom for a weekly guidance lesson is one of my favorite activities. It allows me a chance to get to know the students and watch them interact with each other. In addition, the lessons are used to introduce and reinforce certain topics that support a healthy successful student. Here's what we have been working on lately: K-3's and K-4's respecting differences, K-5's understanding feelings, 1st grade developing understanding of the consequences of their choices and the 2nd graders are becoming "bucket fillers". We read the wonderful book, Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud. This book is based on the premise that we all carry invisible buckets and our buckets are filled by kind words and actions. We can also be "bucket dippers" when we say unkind words. Our goal is for all the students to have full buckets and be "bucket fillers" every day. This book would make a great addition to your home.
