Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!

I don't know about you guys, but here in New York we have had lots of stink bugs flying around! Unfortunately for me, they are flying around my class or can be found on the screen and basically can be found anywhere around the class.. One of my cherubs even found one on the book basket on her table.  Yuk! Can't stand bugs! My first inclination is to go squish it, but I've heard that if you squeeze them, the smell attracts other stink bugs.  Is this a myth? I don't know, but I'm not interested in having the whole population of stink bugs finding me, so I don't squash them.  What I do do, is get a tissue and flush it. When my students asked me what I was doing, I told them I was letting the bug go for a swim. I said they love to swim, so of course now, what do all of my kids want to do? They all want to catch  the stink bugs and flush them so they can be the one to help them swim......oh the joys of Kindergarten!  Gotta love these cherubs!

So excited to get started!

Hi Everyone!
I am so excited to get started with my new blog! Thanks to Alicia at Dreamlike Magic for getting me set up! She is amazing!  :)

So...everyone is doing the countdown at school. Me, I'm sort of counting down, but I'm extremely sad b/c I LOVE my class. They are awesome kiddos! Just the sweetest and best bunch of kids I've had the pleasure to work with.  I'm scared I'm going to be an emotional mess on the last day and start sobbing my eyes out!  Seriously! 
There have been years that I have felt the exact opposite, but this year, these kids rock! 
They have the cutest, funniest personalities! I've actually belly laughed a few times with them.  :). I love these cherubs!
Trying to stretch out the days as best as I can b/c I also have a boatload of work to do before 6/26.   So... Stay tuned..... I'm sure I'll have some cute stories to share with you this week.   Have a great day!
