book sales help next year’s project
(Continued from page 1)
The students, working in pairs,
used their imaginations to come up
with the colorful drawings that il-
lustrate each of the phrases.
Conversation in Ichishkín in-
cludes a glossary with a vocabu-
lary and some grammar. Making
the drawings, and learning the
words in Ichishkín were the best
parts of working on the books, the
students say.
With the public release of the
book this month, you can now buy
a copy for $20, all proceeds going
back to the fourth-graders; so they
can make a similar book next year.
Books from last year’s
project—the first in the series,
about Legends—are also available
at the Academy.
