Week 12

This was a VERY BUSY week & it rained two days this week so...we only did one Act of Kindness.  :P  We took Moody Crew's Library books for them.  :)
This wk on the same day (w/o talking to each other 1st)  two of my sweet girls brought money for our October AOK project from their own piggy banks.  This REALLY made me SOOOO proud & warmed my heart!  This is EXACTLY what I am hoping to do w/ this project & by the girls doing this I feel maybe, just maybe, we are making a difference & the kids are really "getting" it! :)
Next week we start our unit in Social Studies on citizenship & voting so that will go PERFECT w/ our Novemeber AOK-we are going to take some local firefighters dinner the day before Thanksgiving break.  I'm going to let the kids VOTE on what to make & take to them.  They are VERY EXCITED about this & they already have LOTS of ideas!  ;)  We are also going to adopt a student @ CBE & donate a Thanksgiving basket to them so their family will be able to have a "real" thanksgiving.  This month I am going to try to really focus on being THANKFUL & hopefully lead by example in showing them all the things we have to be thankful for-whether it's small or large!  :)

Week 11

I was out one day this wk & we had a fieldtrip today so it was kind of a short wk for AOKs.  We gave Ms. Cunningham crayons for her friend's project.  We also made Thinking of You cards for one of my friends thats Mamaw passed away.  I've got some Nov. ideas rolling around...we're going to adopt someone at our school to give a Thanksgiving basket and we're going to make a healthy meal for the fire fighters on North Peter's Rd. to take to them the wk of Thanksgiving.  The kids are SUPER EXCITED about planning the meal & then cooking it!  :)

Week 10

It was a short wk but we kept busy!  ;)  We are continuing to collect $ for Whitney Elementary.  I am taking our Target donation request tomorrow & Mr. Holloway is giving his WalMart donation request tonight.  :)  We took HP Crew's library books for them.  We gave Ms. Hardin some plastic bags for an Art project.  Today my kids took 19 classes recycle bins in the K & 1st grade hall!  I talked to Ms. Horton today about adopting a class in Nov. for a Thanksgiving basket.  The wheels are always turning!  :)

Week 9-We're Over Half Way There! :)

This week we did several Acts of Kindness.  We wrote two Get Well cards, 1 to one of our students & 1 to a soldier that lost both of his legs in a road side bomb in Afghanistan.  We also took Moody's Crew's books to the library for them.  We also took 7 recycle bins out for Mrs. Earle, Ms. Moody, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Schafer, Miss Joiner, Mrs. Goodwin & Mrs. Haney.  We also gave Mrs. Cunningham another baggie of crayons for her friend.  It was a good week for us.  :)  My kids were wondering how many acts we had done today so I checked on our blog & we're over half way done & it's only Day 38 of school!  I AM SO PROUD OF MY KIDS!  :)

Week 8

What a GREAT wk for our AOKs!  We completed our Sept. AOK project-5 boxes sent to soldiers in Japan & Afghanistan.  We sent sympathy cards to a friend in Mrs. Crawford's class whose father passed away.  We also took 11 recycle trashes out for other classes at our school.  Starting this wk we will begin taking up money for Whitney Elementary in Las Vegas.  We will be purchasing gift cards from Wal-Mart & Target to send to them so they can purchase food & clothes.  :)  

September AOK!

We sent our boxes to Japan & Afghanistan this week!  :)  Our parents sent in SO many supplies we got to send 5 boxes!  The soldier's grandmother came to help us stuff the boxes & Mrs. Davis came to help as well!  I was SO proud of the boys & girls for this project!  We sent boxes STUFFED with:  cards, stationary, Q-Tips, pens, soap, toothbrushes/toothpaste, combs, puzzle books, washcloths, hankies, & candy.  Hopefully, we will make a lot of soldiers happy!  :)
