This Kid.....

The student who wrote me this, has written me a plethora of heart felt letters.  This kid never fails to bring a smile to my face and make me laugh.  I am SO going to miss his entertainment next year!  (Clearly he wasn't paying too much attention to his punctuation or his capitalization!) :)

End of the Year Summer Survival Kit

As an "End of the Year" gift to my students, I wanted to give them something that had "meaning" to it.    I was really happy with the outcome, and the students absolutely loved the buckets.  Our classroom management plan involves being "Bucket Fillers," taken from the book "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?  I decided to put their survival kit goodies in buckets to remind them to be a bucket filler ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!

I found a similar idea on Pinterest, where I was able to download the copy below.  They are available for free with colored borders when you click on the link below.
