Have You Filled Someone's Bucket?

On the first day of school, we read a book called, "Have You Filled Someone's Bucket." The book talks about an invisible bucket everyone carries around. Their bucket is filled when people do nice things for them or say nice things to them.
I told the class that they are working to fill my bucket everyday. Once it is full, they will get a special surprise!
They have been filling the bucket little by little everyday, but on Tuesday, they topped it off! I let them vote to have Double Centers or a Barefoot Afternoon! The choice with the most votes was barefoot afternoon!

They lined up their shoes under their backpacks and could hardly contain their excitement! They loved being in the classroom with no shoes on!

Here they are! Look at all those socks and bare feet!!

They wanted to take a funny-face picture and asked if I would put it on the website too!

We had a great afternoon! The jar was emptied on Tuesday, but they are working hard to fill it again!!
