Treatment - MAET 2010

During my student teaching, we integrated a program called "Fill a Bucket" at the elementary level. The whole idea was based around Carol McCloud's book, Fill a Bucket: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Young Children. I loved the idea and really tried to implement it when I had my own classroom. The kids loved it and it really generated a positive learning experience for many of my students.

Last year, I taught at the middle school level and their version of this program was called "Be the Change." The middle school students really needed a day to focus on being respectful, as well as take a step back to readjust the way they treated each other. I would like to blend these two ideas for my iVideo. I think this would be beneficial for my students, as well as for myself. This will give me an opportunity to set up a "preview" video to show off how I can incorporate these ideas into my classroom.
