Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too!

Talent Show!
Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me, too,

Went for a ride in a flying shoe,
Hurray,
What fun,
It’s time we flew!
Cried Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.
      This week (or even really this day) has been rather like this poem! From a talent show tonight, to disease presentations and funky fruits, we have been full of the wacky and the weird, and yet so fun! Tonight along with 2 of my fourth graders, we recited Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too for our school talent show! The girls had wanted to participate with an act, but didn’t know what to do, and were very nervous. So we went for it with a little color of our own, and a whole lot of Shel silverstein fun!
Kaki fruit!
5th Grade presentation on
our diseases!
(P.S. the girl in the red was Ickle, the pink was Pickle, and I was Tickle!)

       My 5th graders just completed their disease presentations today! They did a fantastic job each researching a disease, its characteristics and components. Then they looked into the major immune responses to the disease. They each made a PowerPoint or a poster to use for their presentation! They were creative, insightful, very entertaining! It is crazy to think back at how much they each have changed and grown in this last year! Some of them had no English, were quiet, and hated presentations. Now each of them put on quite the informative, thorough, fantastic, English presentation.


My Younger Art Club finished
their recycled animals!

       I know I haven’t had a new fruit in a while, but take a look at these! They are super sweet and called Kaki. They are primarily from Brazil, but as you may have noticed, Paraguay imports a lot of things from our huge neighbor!

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for a good end to our school year as it is coming up soon! (June 24th)
- Please pray for us to have plenty of wonderful people apply to fill the open positions for next year! (Also if you know anyone who may be interested in teaching here, you can send them to www.acaknights.org or have them contact me!)
