Bob Comes to Music

So as I promised in my last post I'm going to share a little bit more about Bob.  I know I have an unusual blog name.  After all, why would anyone want their name attached to a stink bug?  Since Bob adopted our classroom he literally went everywhere with us.  One Thursday on our way to music, the class got to the door to enter into music class.  One of my students noticed Bob walking towards the music classroom as if he were going to join the class.  Once one kiddo noticed him it was a big hoopla telling each other "don't step on Bob."  Each student turned to the person behind them in line to ensure Bob's safety.  It was quite funny!  The students were no longer grossed out by Bob, but were now on the lookout for where he was going to show up next or what he was going to do. I knew I was on to something to keep them engaged.  I came up with several lessons around Bob (more on that later).  Stay tuned for more adventures of Bob next Sunday.

Do you have any critter stories from your classroom?  I'd love to hear them!
