I wanted to share a website I use as a resource all of the time for my guidances classes. For my first guidance lessons of the year, I read books about Bucket Filling. We learn that being a "Bucket Filler" means showing kindness, love, and respect to others. After each guidance lesson during the school year, I give out 2 "Bucket Filler" awards. Those go to 2 students that have been good listeners during guidance and have shown respect and kindness during the lesson. There is a Bucket Filling website that I use for free resources. I print my Bucket Filling certificates from this website. It has other free resources. You can also sign up to receive their monthly newsletter. I have also done some shopping on the website so I have lots of Bucket Fillling items. Many of you might have used this website but I wanted to share in case you had not.

Julie, I don't have my first counseling job yet but I love the bucket filling books and used one of the books and the website with a dual credit Foundations of Education class I taught to seniors at my high school. It is a great way to teach character education. High school guidance counselors do not have the opportunity to teach many guidance lessons in the classrooms. I think it would be wonderful if high school counselors could incorporate more character education into their counseling program.
ReplyDeleteThe Bucket Filling website is an interesting resource for future use. I actually haven’t heard about it until now. The resources and other publications would be great to use during guidance lessons with junior high school students.
