Busy, Busy, Busy! (2,170)! :)

Saturday Mady & I had an opportunity to do an AWESOME AOK!  I was tested to see if I could be a bone marrow donor for a 1st grader that goes to Christenberry Elementary that has been diagnosed with cancer.  While parents were doing that kids had an opportunity to make Get Well pics for little Chloe-Mady REALLY enjoyed that!   It was an awesome experience & I truly hope I might be a donor for someone someday!  It also helped remind me to pause in our crazy, busy, hectic lives to remember to be grateful for things I often take for granted-such as our health!  :)
Mady donated a toy to our treasure bin.  Mady donated her old taps & ballet shoes to LG.  :)  Mady also picked me crocuses & daffodils one day this week-what a sweet surprise to come home to!  :)
I got 13 love notes & Zayra sent a note to Mady, my Mom & Mr. Holloway as well-SO SWEET!  :)
One of our skills in class this week was to write Thank-You cards-we all wrote one to somebody.  :)  Shayla S. gave me one & Zayra sent one to Mady b/c Mady made her a diamond for a thank-you for her sweet origami present Zayra had given her earlier in the week.  (It was quite a domino effect of thank-yous!)  ;)
Steele's Mom donated a journal to anyone that needed it in our class-SO SWEET!
We also did a Happy BD card, a Get Well card, and a Have a Good Trip card (a 1st for us).  ;)  We also did a Congrats card for Mrs. Stewart-she had her sweet baby Molly today!!!  :)
I gave a coupon to Miss Joiner.  :)  I gave my secret pal a beautiful hummingbird sun catcher. ;)
One of my FAVORITE things we did this week was to send BD cards to a little boy named Rafael in Australia.  He has leukemia & he's getting ready to turn 10.  He loves mail & he told his Mom that all he wanted for his BD was a bunch of BD cards.  I thought, "We can do that!" :)  The kids had SO MUCH fun doing it!  :)
We also sent Miss Ellyn (in Africa) some "Happy Spring" cards.  :)
Mrs. Russell &  Mrs. Smith both gave me copies I needed.  :)  I shared a parent note with 1st grade teachers for a new thing we'll be starting when we get back from Spring Break. :)
Finally, we did our weekly 1st grade & K recycle.
Current Total = 2,170!  :)
