Fill a Bucket
Students begin to understand that they have invisible buckets. When their buckets are full, they feel great. Having things go their way fills their buckets. Having things go wrong (e.g., someone says something unkind, forgetting lunch) empties a student’s bucket. The bonus is that helping to fill another person’s bucket with a kind action or word also helps to fill your own bucket.
