Last week there were lots of photos, while this week, we have none! With just two days of school, it was a very short week. We also had a lot of folks absent, so our classroom felt pretty darn empty. We did do Bucket Filler this week though, and our Bucket Fillers were Eva and Laura. When I pulled Eva's name, she was super surprised, even mentioning that she didn't think "she'd picked up pencils off the floor" or anything recently. Clearly she needed some reminding of how wonderful she is! I often see her turning to help others in need, and she consistently puts a ton of effort into her school work. To put it simply, she's thoughtful--both as a student and as a person. Laura was just recently our Bucket Filler, and apparently she also got her name pulled in Mrs. O'Keefe's room this week. Am I surprised? Not even a little. Like Eva, she has a tendency to assist others, even without my prompting. She's one of the kids who consistently transitions from one activity to the next quickly and quietly, which makes me very grateful. She's just an all around gem, and very deserving of any and all recognition that she receives!
