I don't usually post mid-wk but will go ahead & post today & if I need to update later I will. I am just afraid that I will forget what we've done if I wait much longer. ;) Last wk. I was out a day & a 1/2 w/ Dr. appt.'s for myself & Mady so...we only ended up recycling for K & 1st. Yest. we practiced writing narratives to a 4th grade class & sent them Easter pencils as well. I love it when AOK's & teachable moments actually come together! :) This wk & next wk are short wks so we shall see how many we get done! I'm thinking it would be awesome if we could reach 1,000 before the end of the year! :)
Ps. I have my own AOK story to share...I should totally do that more often! ;) Last Friday we were in front of a woman @ the grocery store. I did a quick glance @ her buggy & noticed she didn't have very many things-of course we did b/c 1. We have a toddler & 2. We only shop every 2 wks. So...I asked her if she'd like to go ahead of us so she didn't have to wait. :) She considered it a minute & said, "Thanks so much for the offer but I remember what it's like to have a one that little. She's doing so good so maybe if you go 1st you can get out of here w/o a meltdown!" An AOK to us-full circle! Now THAT'S AOK in it's best form! :)
Part 2-this wk we recycled for K & 1st. My kids were happy to receive their OWN Easter pencils for test day since they'd sent 2 sets to other classes in the last 2 wks! Have a GREAT Easter wkend everyone! Enjoy your family & try to do an AOK for someone today-Mady & I held the door open for the Pepsi guy @ Weigel's tonight-he really seemed to appreciate it-it's the little things! :)
