The Welcoming Party

I've had so many visitors while I've been setting up my classroom this past week. I would like to introduce you to some of my new "friends".


When I first went into my room I found this little guy busy eating..


this bigger guy.


Later that day I found this 2-inch monster making his enterance by crawling down a wall.


I like to call this one the "Lord of the Cockroaches". This guy is the biggest one I've ever met. I first noticed him crawling around on the ceiling. He was near the head of a teacher who came in to tell me something. I didn't say anything to the teacher because I didn't want to scare her. I also don't remember a word of what she told me because I was slightly distracted.
Unfortunately the pictures don't really capture the true size and repulsiveness of these creatures. I just couldn't get myself to go close enough to the beasts to take a great picture (even after they have felt the effects of my little sidekick called "Raid").
I'm also missing "The Tank" in this picture album. He was a big, FAT cockroach that came crawling over to help me put some books away. He met "Raid", but disappeared before I could find out if he was really dead.
Between the roaches, mice, rats, and bullets, there are always plenty of surprises at my school.

We have so many of those things here in Hawaii. In fact they even fly. Sorry about giving up the Utah license. It was hard to give up my Colorado one ):.
