One of my favorite things about things about this group of kiddos is the love they have for each other, for me, and for everyone else in the world.
There is rarely a day that passes where we don't have at least one friend request prayer for "everyone in the whole wide world" and I love that they are constantly thinking of others.
We also have several students who are very eager to help their classmates when they are struggling.

Last Thursday when the kids came in they quickly spied my bag of apples to be distributed and they were itching to hand them out to all of the staff.
Technically this was less "random" and more just an Act of Kindness since we handed out most of the apples in person.

| This is what happens when you try to sneak attack a picture of first graders. I promise they did not walk around the school like this, they were just really excited about leaving our first "secret" apple in the music room. They were all talking about how surprised our music teacher would be when she saw it. |

After passing out all the apples we came back to our room for an apple tasting party!!!
 |
| Our tasting "menu". |
We tasted red, yellow, and green apples, apple cereal, apple cider, applesauce, and apple chips.

| Tim was one of the few kids that thought the apple chips were okay, most of our friends thought they were NASTY! |
 |
| I gave each child a response sheet to record how they felt about each item that we tasted. |
 |
| Ben was a little unsure about the Apple cider. |
After we had tasted to our hearts content we had even more apple-tivities to complete, including some math sheets and our science paper labeling the parts of the apple.
We were all pretty impressed by all the appletastic facts that we learned. I think we are all very glad that God made apples.
We also got two very sweet thank you notes from the teachers telling us how much they loved their apples, that made the kids feel pretty awesome, to know that they helped make someone else happy.
