Bugs were everywhere!  They were buzzing, flying and swooping past us – bees, butterflies, flies & fireflies – those were just some of the bugs in our preschool storytime today.  There was a bee who learned to share and a ladybug who got in over her head.  (Well, not to worry…we helped that ladybug out with some very scary faces).  We enjoyed storytime so much that it lasted 45 minutes!!!

Here are some of the books, songs & rhymes we shared:

Five little ladybugs sitting on a leaf

Soaking in the sunshine and the soft warm breeze

Along came a bird, quiet as can be

And snatched that ladybug off that leaf

Four, three, two, one…
