Greetings!! Today wraps up our extended Random Acts of Kindess Week. Thanks to the snow we were able to talk about kindness for two weeks!
Here is the bulletin board where students could share their random acts if kindness. It took a few days to get going but then the students were really getting into it. Next year if I do the same thing I will be looking for help to have a few spots set up in the mornings. Because I was in the lobby I missed a lot of the students who rode the bus.
With the third grade students we talked about how we could be bucket fillers around the school to make our school community a better place. We read the book Have you filled a bucket today? Then we talked about what it meant to be a bucket filler at our school. The students were invited to write on a circle a way they could be a bucket filler in five different areas of the school. Each class talked about ways to be a bucket filler in the classroom as well as in the bathrooms. Each class also had 3 other common areas of the school. Today we talked about the classrooms, bathrooms, cafeteria, playgrounds, computer lab, library, art, music, P.E., and guidance. These are the areas that all students are expected to follow the same Rand Road expectations that help them attend the PBIS celebrations each quarter. After the lessons were finished I have hung them up around the school so all of the students can see them and hopefully reflect and talk with one another about how to be a bucket filler throughout the school. 
Thank you for everyone who brought in food for our food drive!! It was a great success and I will be dropping the food off some time this week at Wake Relief!
