I always like to encourage parents and teachers to register for the free Character Counts! Week resources from the Josephson Institute for the third week in October each year. I’m not compensated for promoting Character Counts! Week … I just really believe in character education at both home and school.
I have a whole category of character posts with ideas for character education throughout the year.
A helpful character-education concept is bucket filling. Bucket filling is a tool that children can easily understand. You can learn more about bucket filling in this post: It’s a Great Day to Focus on Character.
Today, I want to add to the Character Counts! Week resources by sharing a number of YouTube videos about bucket filling.
