Pinterest Find :: Bucket Fillers vs. Bucket Dippers

bucket fillers

One of the things my school has done each year is read Have You Filled a Bucket Today? A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids,” by Carol McCloud to the younger grades. “Filling a Bucket,” not being a “Bucket Dipper,” and such are now common language across the grade levels and it has definitely helped kids to be able to separate friendly from unfriendly actions.

Which is why I was really excited to find a Bucket Filler vs. Bucket Dippers headers by 3rd Grade Thoughts and word sort by 1st Grade Fanatics on Pinterest. Often, I have students list examples of “Bucket Fillers” and “Bucket Dippers,” but having words to choose from would really help some of the younger students get started.

The best part of both these products? They’re FREE!!  So go grab them while you can!

Organization Binder :: Covers & Spine Labels

Blog Entry Preview

Lately, I’ve seen a huge amount of teacher organization binders on Pinterest and teacher blogs. Unfortunately, they aren’t meant to be used by most special education teachers, counselors, or social workers – they’re all organized for classroom teachers. So, over the course of the next few weeks, I’m making one for the rest of us 🙂

So far, you’ve missed:

Group Organizer
User Name & Password Keeper
IEP Tracker
Service Log
Lesson Planning Sheets
Student Information Pages
Gradebook
Seating Chart
Birthday Page
Class List
Meeting Organizer
Checklist
IEP Accommodations Cheat Sheet
Monthly Calendar
Weekly Schedule
Notes Pages

And last but not least…..drum roll…..covers and spine labels for your binder! There are a total of 7 warm covers, and 7 cool covers, which you can also use as section divides to further personalize your binder. In addition, there area matching spine labels in a range of designs and sizes. All have decorative borders with blank space in the middle for you to customize the title of your binder (or add some photos!)

Here are the links to the warm-colored ones:

Warm Cover

Spine Labels Warm

And the cool ones:

Spine Labels Cool

Enjoy!

These free binder posts will be up until midnight on July 31st. Beginning in August, all of these pages will be available in a single bundle at my TpT store, so if you’ve missed them here, you can still get them! Have a wonderful school year 🙂
