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!
