Wk 19-Half Way Through! (854) :)

We definitely saw many Acts of Kindness this week.  :)  On Wed.  one of our PTSA moms had CFA come & deliver biscuits to us for breakfast.  Mrs. K. came & read the kids a story so I could have a 30 minute break-it was so thoughtful of her!  :)  We also had our class party the same day-our volunteers were awesome & fun was had by all. :)  We had enough volunteers that I got to go cover Mrs. Barbo's class so she could come hang out with Lilli for a few minutes.  :)  This wk I received so many nice, thoughtful gifts from my students & coworkers.  They all know how to make a girl feel loved!  :)  On Thursday we had Polar Express/PJ Day.  We had parents send in lots of juice boxes & popcorn in for our movie day.  We also had a very special delivery straight from the North Pole-bells just like the movie!  They were even cold!  :)  Mrs. Smith & I watched Mrs. Yellin's class in the afternoon so she could go to her son's Christmas party.  :)  Thursday night my Mom cooked Mr. Holloway's favorite meal for his Christmas present.  :)  Friday my kiddos did their regular recycling for K & 1st grade.  :)  They even took out the office's too!  :)  Today my Mom picked up some very large limbs that had fallen in my neighbor's yard for them.  :)
We hope everyone has a WONDERFUL, restful holiday & that we all remember in the hustle & bustle of things that, "Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store.  Perhaps Christmas means just a bit more!"

We were very busy this wk!  I sent one of my friends a sympathy card-her grandmother had passed away.  Mady drew a pic to cheer her up as well-SUCH a sweet girl! :)  We also sent Miss Moody a Get Well card-she had Gall Bladder surgery.  We sent a card to Bella-she had the flu.  We also sent a BD card & a get well card.  We sent our pen pals in FLA some pencils & Chilly penguin tattoos.  We sent their teacher a little cross-stitched ornament & a StarBucks gift card.  :)  We also did our regular recycling for K & 1st grade.  We also gave our parents their holiday presents this wk.  :)  They turned out very cute. :)
We had SO many Acts of Kindness done for us this week as well!  :)  We had someone donate 3 boxes of crayons to our classroom.  Braydon's Mom sent in TONS of pencils for our class!  We really needed them!  :)  I've been getting "12 days of Christmas" presents from Nolan & his family all wk-it's so fun & such a cute idea!  :)  I look forward to seeing what I'm going to get every morning!  :)  We got an AWESOME package from our pen pals in FLA.  They made all of our students a bracelet w/ a pattern & they sent them a bookmark.  They also sent us a very cool sign that says, "Kindness Matters."  I hung it up on our Kindness Counts wall.  :)  It was such a cool/fun package to get!  :)

Wk 17-OVER 700-719! :)

This was a good wk for AOKs!  :)  I sent in 3 breast cancer lids.  I did cross walk duty for my friend Laurie on her BD.  :)  I gave one of my friends a thinking of her card-her grandmother is ill.  Our class also made 3 BD cards this wk for Mr. Klicka, Mrs. Smith & Mr. Chris, our custodian.  We also sent a  Christmas card to a class of a girl that Mrs. Cunningham knows that is trying to see how many states they can get Christmas cards from.  We gave Brilei a thinking of you card when her kitty was ran over this week. :(  We donated a box of baggies to the school to use for icepacks.  We also did our regular recycling this wk for K & 1st grades.  We had some AOKs done for us too, of course!  Some workers came in & fixed a spot on our floor that had been needed to be fixed for over a year, it made me SO HAPPY!  :) Mrs. Barbo also came in for 20 minutes on her lunch break to help us with one of our Christmas crafts-it was SO INCREDIBLY nice of her to do that during her lunch break!  :)
