West Education Campus Fourth Graders Celebrate National Poetry Month with Their Own Poems

West Education Campus students in Ms. Outten's fourth grade recently had two special visitors in their class.   Kevin Johnson, and his WARL adoptee Ava, shared tales of their adventures.   Ava, a very small football-shaped dog, was passed from student to student as Kevin told of their many escapades.  Ahureda wrote an acrostic that, in just seven words, captures the essence of Ava.

Awesome in any clothes

Very Courageous

Adventurous

Other students created poems about their own animal companions.
Mittens, by Dayja

My Pal

Is ready for the prey

Takes care of me

Takes care of family

On the go

Nice Cat

Safe with Me.

Janaye wrote about her cat, too.
My cat's name is Mimi and she is shy,
she runs away like saying bye.
sometimes Mimi runs like crazy
She is so amazing.
