Welcome to 2F's blog page! This year will be a true experimentation with blogging. I will seek to communicate with you classroom occurences throughout the year. My hope is that this will allow you to have a more in depth look at what our school day looks like and what your children are learning. I will also attempt to keep you abreast of important classroom activities. I am very excited to be learning something new and to be giving you a peek into our classroom.

Bucket Fillers

This year we will be doing a character development program entitled "Bucket Fillers." The idea of Bucket Fillers is that each day each student comes to class everyday with a bucket. If they come to school with an empty bucket it means they are sad, and if it is full it means they are happy. By being kind to one another, we can fill buckets, but by being unkind to one another we can empty buckets. The goal is for buckets to be full each day in 2F. Students who are Bucket Fillers will receive recognition of their kindness.

In 2F we will launch this idea of being a "Bucket Filling Class" by reading three of the books published on Bucket Filling: How Full is Your Bucket? For Kids, Have you Filled a Bucket Today? and Fill a Bucket. Each student and teacher will have a bucket with their name on it. Their bucket can be filled up or emptied based on their interactions throughout the day. The first time a student fills up their bucket they will receive a special prize!
