The Bucket Filling program is a nationwide program designed to improve social & emotional learning at school. It is based on a simple concept where we each have an invisible bucket with the singular purpose of holding good thoughts and feelings about ourselves. When we are happy and good to others, our buckets become full. When we are sad or not nice to others, our buckets become empty. We become “bucket fillers” when we are nice to others. But when we make some one feel bad, we become “bucket dippers”. Bucket dippers dip into both of our buckets.
