Week 4-Grandparent's Weekend :)

This was a short week but it didn't keep us from doing LOTS of Acts of Kindness!  :)  We did our usual recycling for K & 1st.  We also did a fun, special activity this week to celebrate Grandparent's Day on Sunday.  I found a special poem on Pinterest & then I had the kids paint their hands & do a handprint on each poem.  (I'm always a sucker for a handprint!)  LOL! ;)  Mady did these for her grandparents too.  :)
We also donated a bag of pop tops to the student council who will in turn donate them to Ronald McDonald house & Coca-Cola will donate 10 cents to them for every pop top!
I was incredibly proud of Mady when she came up with her own AOK idea this week!  They were studying Community helpers last week at pre-school & we were talking about community helpers that we know-she named the mailman, then she said she had a good idea for an AOK...since it was so hot we should make Koolaid to give to the mailman.  (This makes my heart INCREDIBLY HAPPY & PROUD!)  *We haven't done this yet but I'm hoping to get Daddy in on the action & let him do it this week when he's on Fall Break.*
At Little Gym they are also doing acts of kindness-their goal is to get enough kindness links to stretch across the whole gym!  I LOVE this idea!  The teachers said that Mady knew all about AOKs-what they were & what it meant.  ;)  Friday her Daddy & she did her 1st AOK for LG-she picked up trash around the park-that kid makes me proud!  :)  We also went throught Mady's fall/winter clothes to prep for an upcoming consignment sale & have 2 bags of clothes to give to friends plus a bag full of pull ups.  :)
Next week at school I'm going to have the kids start working on our October/November BD cards.  :)  I love being busy, busy, busy with AOKs!  :)
AOK Total =159!
