Week 17-On Our Way to 350 AOKs! :)

This wk we did a really fun AOK.  We wrote C-mas cards for a soldier's parents.  The soldier is stationed in Afghanistan & this is the 1st C-mas he's been away from his family.  He posted on his fb page that he was really appreciative of the cards/gifts they'd been sending them to him but that his parents were having a difficult time w/ his absence during the holidays & that if we wanted to do something nice then would we please send cards to his parents so...we did!  :)  The kids also voted to try for 350 AOKs in 100 days.  We challenged the school to see how many they could do in the next 100 days!  :)

Week 16-We've reached our goal of 200 AOK in 100 Days! :)

This month we are focusing on FREE Acts of Kindness!  This week we made 3 sets of Holiday Cards.  My mom & Mady took a set to a local assisted living center close to our house along w/ holiday baskets that my Mom had made.  Mady had a GREAT time passing them out & Mom said the residents had a great time getting them!  The next set went to Mrs. Mitchell's grandmother's assisted living center.  :)  I am taking the final set to Arbor Terrace sometime this wk.  :)  Friday we took our usual recycle bins out.  This brought us to our goal of  200 AOKs in 100 days.  We're at # 280 so...I will have to see how the kids want to proceed-300, 350 or 400 AOKs in 100 days?

Week 15

This week all of our Acts of Kindness were FREE!  (We are focusing on free AOKs in Dec. so our loved ones can spend their hard earned money on other things.)  ;) We made my Aunt Lahoma BD cards for her 70th BD and we took 20 recycle bins out for K & 1st grade today.  We also decided to start recycling plastic in our classroom starting next week.  :)   We are going to be making a lot of holiday cards in the next few wks!  :)  We're only 8 AOKs away from reaching our 200 goal-might we make it to 250 or 300???
