Yes, we have started the year off with a bang and are excited to have a bucket filling year! We have used "Courtesy Kids" in the past and the heart chart and the Courtesy kid graph but this year we added an important new book to our classroom. Have You Filled a Bucket Today, written by Carol McCloud and Illustrated by David Messing, is an important new book in our class. The Second Steps program uses harts in a jar but we will be using the "heart chart' or courtesy kid graph to catch kids doing acts of kindness and following directions. It's contagious!
Because of the nature of the blog I will update and post events in the classroom as well as pictures of the class as I am able. Children whose parents have signed releases will be included. I never use children's names on the blog and it will all be exciting, tasteful and FUNNY kindergarten material! Yes out of the mouths of babes...and it will be here...it's not quite the same in the re-telling but still very funny things that kindergarten children say :-) so stay tuned!
