Going Strong & Over 100 ALREADY! (118!)

This wk we continued going strong as we did AOKs in our classroom & homes.  :)
Mady loaned me an extra cowgirl hat she had for me to be able to use for charades/pictionary at school.  She also loaned me her Tumble Bumble book so I could use it for teaching nouns & verbs at school.  I LOVE that girl's sweet heart!  :)  She also helped me decorate a bag that held homemade chocolate chips for my secret pal-a new thing we're doing at school this year-which of course I LOVE! I gave Mrs. Crawford a magazine that I knew she would be interested in reading.  :)
Taygen's mom made me the cutest scarf & she told me that Mady could use it for playing dress up too-SO INCREDIBLY SWEET!  :)  Cesar also brought in the most beautiful rose for me this week-it made my heart happy!  :)
Mrs. Hall found the Family Times for our new reading series & printed them all out for us-what a BLESSING!  It's SO NICE when people take things OFF your plate! :)
My IA Jill helped me fix a book that I needed for this week-I could NOT figure it out-she's SUCH an INCREDIBLE BLESSING to me!  :)
We FINALLY had Library & got to donate:  tissues, Germ-X, pencils & crayons for their class.
My Mom made me two adorable potholders-SO CUTE!   :)
Mady is LOVE, LOVE, LOVING school so I decided to write her teachers a note & let them know how MUCH we APPRECIATED that!  Mile's & Jackson's Moms sent in notes like that to me this week & I wanted to pay it forward b/c I know from experience teachers don't get those sweet notes as often as they need to!  I love Mady being in school so I can do things that I appreciate in my own classroom for them too.  :)
We had a BIG event in our home this weekend-we decided that Mady had been showing us responsibility & that she was ready to have her own kitties!!!  We got them for free from Mrs. Hardin one of the Art teachers @ our school & Mady is in seventh heaven!  :)
Again, I would NOT be making it through this year w/o my BFF Mrs. Smith!  We help each other out a LOT & I LOVE it!  :)  She had a great idea for tying together Reading & Math.  We needed mailboxes-I needed to go to Hobby Lobby anyway so I picked up a couple of them.  I also got mine designed by a super-duper fancy artist known as Madylyn Holloway!  ;)  We also got to give Mrs. Smith a coupon for Shoneys for one of the boys-thankfully Mady is still free!  ;)
Finally, we did our weekly recycle.  It was MUCH quicker this week & the kids are LOVING this particular AOK that they get to do!  :)
Current Total = 118!
