Spring Poems
This spring Kindergarten ELL students have been writing poems about the new season.  They have had an opportunity to observe and talk about the changes they are noticing around them. And then, to describe these ordinary things using describing and action words.  We enjoyed writing and sharing them with each other!

My Life in Colors
First and second grade ELL students, got a chance to explore how images and words work together to create a message about themselves and what is important to them in their lives, by making a slideshow using an app on the iPad called Haiku Deck. They shared their presentations in small groups and got a chance to practice important public speaking skills such as, making eye contact with the audience and speaking in a clear, loud voice.  Here is a selection of some of our favorite slides from each of our slideshows!
