Back in the Swing of Things (2,225!)

We returned from Spring Break this week & got back in to the swing of things.  :)  

I received 3 love notes this week.  :)  Mady & Mr. Holloway also received one.  :)  Taygen made Mady a picture puzzle-she LOVES those-it was SO SWEET of Taygen to think of my girl & she LOVED doing it!  :)  Best of all I got a Love Note from my sweet Boo Bear in my lunch this week.  

Mady let her "boys" (Hayden & Gavin) borrow her new movie Frozen b/c they've been wanting to watch it.  :)

We passed along Mady's old play pen to Mrs. Joiner who is expecting a baby soon.  :)  I gave Mrs. Solomon a free drink punch card from Dunkin Donuts.  :)  I gave my Kroger's gas points to Mrs. DePew.  :)

Mrs. Sebastian gave Mady some chocolate chips that were left over from a Social Studies project.  Mady had just said she wanted to bake some thing with chocolate chips so that was perfection!  :)

I got the BEST "Happy Friday" treat from my Secret Pal today-Reese's cups & a D. Coke-it's how I got through today!  ;)

Unbeknowst to Mady during all of our Spring cleaning during Spring Break she donated some items to our treasure bin this week.  :)

Mr. Preston-one of our sweet volunteers-gave one our students a couple of books to help him learn to read better-I thought this was SO incredibly thoughtful! :)

We got a thank-you note from one of our friends that we sent a BD card to & he sent a check to us to spend as we needed-we used it to purchase our butterflies that we'll grow from larvae & release-the kids are SO EXCITED!  Of course we sent him a thank-you card! ;)

My Mom took Mady to a pottery class this week-Mady had SO much fun!  :)

Mrs. Smith was sick & I printed out her lesson plans for her-it was nice to be able to return the same favor that she has done for me so many times!  :)

We did a BD card for Steele's Grandma. :) 

Mrs. Russell sent me a calendar that I really liked so I could use it for my classroom.  One of my students had an accident today & I had to take them to the clinic-Mrs. Russell watched my class so I could take him to the clinic.  :)  The clinic volunteer went & got the little boy's Mom (who happens to work at our school) & watched her class so his Mom could come check on him-both of them were SO SWEET!  

There was a mess up with Mady's cheer pics.  The company fixed them but we recently got ANOTHER packet of pictures with a VERY nice letter from the president of the company.  He takes our school's picture & in fact his wife is one of our wonderful instructional assistants.  As a parent I was VERY IMPRESSED w/ this letter-the company didn't have to do this but they did b/c they were concerned about the mistake & wanted to fix their mistake.  I was so impressed that I forwarded a note of my own & the company's letter to the woman that is in charge of the cheer pics-I know she had gotten a lot of negative comments about the pics so I wanted to pass along a praise.  :)  I found out that she in turn sent a very nice email to the president of the company-talk about an AOK coming full circle!  :)  

I've been forgetting to thank our volunteers again-this month we've had 9 WONDERFUL volunteers come in!  :)

We did our regular recycling this week for K & 1st this week.  :)
