Bucket-filling and Forgiveness Day

The day of our First Reconciliation, we had a school-wide forgiveness day that Mrs. Huff put together. We read the book "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" The book says that everyone has a "bucket" and when we do something nice for someone we help fill their bucket.  When we do something mean or hurtful we dip into their bucket.
Everyone in our class picked out a name from a hat and wrote one kind thing about that person. It was really beautiful to hear what some of the students had to say about each other. It brought happy tears to my eyes :)
