CAUSE AND EFFECT?! What does that mean? It means our actions have consequences - good or not-so-good. What WE do, effects other people! Another one of my FAVORITE books, "What if everybody did that?" I read it to many of you last week during our classroom meetings. Below is the link to listen to the story again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=811dQ_OisK0 If you drop just one soda can out the window, it’s no big deal ... right? But what if everybody did that? What if everybody broke the rules... and spoke during story time? Or didn’t wash up? Then the world would be a mess!! But what if everybody obeyed the rules so that the world would become a better place? We have to THINK about our behavior and what we do! If we do THIS, then THIS might happen! Fill in the blank :) Try these activities EVERYDAY this week! MONDAY: Listen to the story and discuss with someone! -What was this story about? -Why is following rules important? -Think of 3 things you do at home and their effects on your family members. -What if everybody dropped their milk on the cafeteria floor? -What if everybody forgot to bring their school supplies to school? -What if everyone left their toys out all over their house? -What if everyone screamed and shouted while mom or a teacher is talking? -Think of you OWN! TUESDAY: VOCABULARY! Write the definition of each word from the story! Don't know what they mean? Look it up or ask a family member to help you! See PDF below for this activity! No printer? No problem! Simply copy onto a sheet of paper :) WEDNESDAY: Examples of GOOD choices and their effects! Brain storm different examples of GOOD behavior and the effects they would have! Use the PDF below if you would like! Ideas: Good behavior at home: Effect: Good behavior in the cafeteria: Effect: Good behavior in a grocery story: Effect: Good behavior in the classroom or on google meets: Effect: THURSDAY: BOOK REPORT! See PDF below for book report :) No printer? No problem! Simply copy onto a sheet of paper :) FRIDAY: RATE THE STORY! -Watch/Read the story -How would you rate this book out of 5 stars? -Use the RATE MY BOOK page at the bottom of this post OR Draw 5 stars at the top of a piece of paper.

Love, Miss McCabe Good Morning and Happy Monday! Last week we talked all about FEELINGS. The activities I posted about FEELINGS can be done any time!! When you are having strong feelings, you can create a spot in your house called a COOL DOWN CORNER. Step 1: Choose a SPECIAL spot in your house! (I choose a chair in my living room!) Step 2: Go to your special spot - this is your COOL DOWN CORNER! Step 3: Choose a COOL DOWN STRATEGY!
Step 4: When you are "cool" - reflect! What helped you cool down? Why? Do I still need more time to cool down? Talk to someone or write it down on a piece of a paper. Attached (bel0w) to this post will be how to make one! :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This week, let's talk about BUCKETS! Buckets?! What do you mean, Miss McCabe?? We ALL have a bucket! Everyone carries around an "invisible" bucket! You, your mom, your dad, your grandma, your grandma, EVERYONE! Our buckets have a purpose - they hold your good thoughts and good feelings about yourself! You (and others) feel very happy and good when your bucket is full! :) You (and others) feel sad and lonely when your bucket is empty :( We can fill each other's buckets! So... Let's talk about FILLING UP SOMEONE'S BUCKET! One of my FAVORITE books, "Have You Filled A Bucket Today?" Will tell us how! Below is the link to listen to the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EuemNAo6XE Are you FILLING up a bucket? Or are you DIPPING into a bucket? We want to be bucket FILLERS! We DO NOT want to be bucket DIPPERS! This week, let's be BUCKET FILLERS!!! Try these activities EVERYDAY this week! MONDAY: Listen to the story and discuss with someone! -What was this story about? -Why is filling up someone's bucket important? -Can we fill our own bucket if we dip into someone else's? -What are some ways to fill a bucket? -What are some ways in dip into a bucket? TUESDAY: Bucket FILLERS and Bucket DIPPERS -Find 2 bags or bins or buckets from around your home! -Label one: BUCKET FILLERS and label the other: BUCKET DIPPERS (Picture below) -Take turns writing down ways to FILL a bucket on little pieces of paper and put them into your BUCKET FILLERS! THEN -Take turns writing down ways to DIP INTO a bucket on little pieces of paper and put them into your BUCKET DIPPERS! (Ideas for fillers and dippers bel0w if you need some help!) WEDNESDAY: "I am a BUCKET FILLER When" Activity. -Draw or trace a bucket! (examples below) -Use or trace the stars and hearts to write on! -On each start or heart, write a different way you can be a BUCKET FILLER! Then add them to your bucket. -Color your bucket however you'd like! THURSDAY: RATE THE STORY! -Watch/Read the story -How would you rate this book out of 5 stars? -Use the RATE MY BOOK page at the bottom of this post OR Draw 5 stars at the top of a piece of paper.
