Bugz

Last month, the first grade class put on a play. It was titled "Bugz, the Musical" (an unrelated side note: how do they expect first graders to learn to spell correctly when even the play titles are wrong? When they start pluralizing things on the CRCT with a Z, they have no one but themselves to blame!) and was written to provide a singing or speaking part for every first grader. I think that is fabulous- every kid deserves to feel important at that age.

It was a smashing success! Lenna was a firefly, complete with antennae and a light up tail. Super cute! Room mothers and teachers stayed up night hot gluing all that felt... The rest I guess is best told in pictures!

Andy came in costume, too. This photo is dedicated to mothers of preschoolers everywhere.

"Mom, I have butterflies in my stomach! No, make that fireflies!"

Getting pinned in.

My camera is not so good at action shots far away and in the dark. But Lenna is front and center doing her flashlight dance.

Dancing fireflies. Lenna is on the right first, then moves to the far left.

Lots of antennae. The hand that keeps appearing in the bottom left corner is Mr Dobbins. He was gracious enough to man the camcorder while I bounced a baby and snapped pictures. Someday I will have the time to study the manual and get the video out of the camera and into the computer for you to see. It is super cute. Someday.

Army ants, Fireflies, Lady bugs.

Wings and a tail!
