Relieve stress with bubble wrap

What would we do without bubble wrap? This wonderful plastic packaging tool has fallen from favor as we convert to more environmentally friendly materials, so it’s not as readily available as it used to be. But teachers in the late spring know another use for bubble wrap — we smash those little cells one at a time to ease the frustrations of trying to accomplish an inordinate amount of work before the Last Day of School.

Enter the Web, once again to make life a little easier for teachers. Now we can smash the plastic wrap virtually. True, we don’t get the feel of the plastic in our hands. But the satisfying sound of popping bubbles can help anyone get through those last few highly demanding days.
