Kindergarten teaches save me

I found this really cool writing activity on Pinterest that I wanted to do with my students.  It involved paint...which I never do with 5th graders.  I thought I had some paint in my closet, but was wrong.  So, I called a kindergarten coworker and asked to borrow some paint.  I got what I needed and the activity was a success!   A few days later at our class Christmas party, my students were busy making their gingerbread houses.  As we went to clean things up, a thought entered my head...."How are they going to carry these on the bus?"  I called another kindergarten teacher and asked her how her students carried theirs home.  She informed me I needed gallon size bags...which I did not have.  Luckily, she had enough for my class!  I learned that week that kindergarten teachers have EVERYTHING in their classrooms!
