What a week! It was AWESOME & it led to an opportunity to do my FAVORITE AOK we have ever done! :)
Coach Pate fixed Jackson's backpack for him. :) We got a treat bag from PTSA. Taygen made me a bracelet, a necklace & a craft this week. :) Mrs. Gilliam gave us a new pen for our Activ Board (this is what has been wrong with it for OVER 2 years!) so you can imagine my delight that I can now teach & use the board the way it was intended to be used! :) I had a former parent AND a current parent send in treasure box goodies on the SAME day-it was a good day for treasure box! ;) I gave Mrs. Frady a Justice coupon to use for her oldest daughter. :) I also gave Mrs. DePew a diaper coupon. :) It's coupon book time so I did my annual passing along of ALL those coupons I know I will NEVER use-I passed along to 9 different groups this year. :)
Mrs. Smith printed out our newsletter for me (w/o me having to ask her-now THAT'S a good friend!) She also went to pick up craisins for me when she went to the store so I wouldn't have to go to the store (which I despise doing during the week!).
First grade teachers are doing SUCH wonderful job sharing with each other. (We even have a share box in the work room.) I shared 3 things this week & I really liked a beginning of the school activity that I FINALLY remembered to get from Mrs. Russell-work smarter not harder, right? ;)
My sweet girl loaned me this really cool story kit that she got this summer for my kiddos next week-when they start working on fantasy stories. :)
It's Grandparent's Day & hopefully Boo will get to Face Time her peeps in just a little while. :) In class each kiddo made two sweet poems w/ hand prints for their peeps-I hope their Grandparents enjoy them! :)
We also did our weekly recycling this week. :)
Now for my absolute FAVORITE AOK-Baker's Aunt had her very last chemo this Thursday so we made a CONGRATS sign for Baker's Mom to hang up @ her house as a surprise. The kids colored it & wrote encouraging messages on it. Baker's Mom emailed me Thursday night & said that it literally brought Baker's Aunt to her knees when she saw it and everyone in the family was so touched that it brought tears to all their eyes. I have NEVER been more touched by a reaction to an AOK & I am SO PROUD of our kiddos that THEY did such an AWESOME job filling someone else's bucket! I told the kiddos the next day, "Now this is what AOKS are all about!" :)
