Welcome

Mr. Powers' ELD Blog Spot

Welcome to our blog spot where we can share stuff, show off some of our work, and learn from each other.

I'm excited for this year. We'll be doing a lot of fun stuff and learning a ton. The cool thing for this year is that we have iPads. I was part of the 2nd grade team grant proposal and we all got iPads for every student. You each will be able to do some interesting things with your iPads that'll you'll share with the class.







Check out some of our videos from last year. This year you'll be helping to make some videos. This one shows our kindergarten ELL students acting out prepositions.
