Can we build it?

I taught preschool for the second time last week and it went really well. Thankfully the lesson was a lot less work than the first one and I was a lot less nervous.

For the field trip we were supposed to go to Home Depot. I called the closest location and left a message for the person who did the Kid's clinics to see if we could set one up. Never heard back, tried calling again, and then tried leaving a message at another location. Finally, after still not hearing back, I decided to call their competition: Lowe's. Lowe's was very helpful, but said they would not be able to set up a special class for us. However, if we came to the class at the regular time they would give us any extra kits they had. So we headed over to Lowe's that Saturday and the boys got to participate in the class.
They gave us enough extra kits for us to use for the preschool along with aprons, certificates, and iron-on patches. Yay Lowe's! Our preschool group had a great time making pirate ships.

Ironically, when I started to ask around to other preschool groups who use our curriculum I found out that the field trip is just supposed to be a visit to tour a Home Depot. I had to laugh, that it just so like me to get so committed to an idea in my head.
