Sad Day in 5th Grade!!

It has been a sad week for us...our beloved goldfish, Sushi (yes, my kids have a twisted sense of humor!), passed away over the weekend.  He was a fantastic pet and friend.  He swam and swam and always seemed happy to see us every day.  He had a very healthy appetite and typically was fine when left with a clean bowl and food for the weekend.  We wanted to give him the appropriate burial at "sea" so he could swim off with his other fishy friends.  A few of the students said some kind words and then, my fearless Nicole, bravely sent Sushi on his way to the big fishbowl in the sky. 

We are not currently looking to replace Sushi, as our two Hissing Cockroaches are still alive and well.  And despite the children's urging, my complete disgust for all things hamster/gerbil related prohibits us from taking ownership of a guinea pig or any of its fine relatives.  I apologize to all rodent lovers, but they completely creep me out.  I would rather have a lizard or snake! 

We loved our sweet Sushi and will remember him fondly.
