My FAVORITE AOK Thus Far... (260!)

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!"  :)
Current Total = 260
