Notes:

Well, we are getting to know the roaches quite well. They've been infested with ants, which are, apparently, hard to get rid of. We cleaned out the tank and thought that was the end of it. Unfortunately they came back after lunch. I'll be searching for ways to rid our classroom of ants and will gladly accept any suggestions.


Quote of the Day:
(Said of the roaches) "They're infested with ants."

Joke:

A panda bear walks into a bar and orders a sandwich. The waiter brings him the sandwich. The panda bear eats it, pulls out a pistol, kills the waiter, and gets up and starts to walk out. The bartender yells for him to stop. The panda bear asks, "What do you want?" The bartender replies, "First you come in here, order food, kill my waiter, then try to go without paying for your food." The panda bear turns around and says, "Hey! I'm a Panda. Look it up!" The bartender goes into the back room and looks up panda bear in the encyclopedia, which read: "Panda: a bear-like marsupial originating in Asian regions. Known largely for it's stark black and white coloring. eats shoots and leaves."
