Haiku Challenge Ends

Thanks to everyone who participated in our National Poetry Month haiku contest.

The winning entry is Kathy Tompkin's class at the Rocky Mountain School for the Gifted and Creative. They took the challenge seriously and turned it into a fun class project. Here are their wonderful creations:

by David:

Andre is awesome
he is a very cool cat
it's fun when we play

by Sofia:
The wind gently blows
to the south in the winter
Winter comes to Spring

by Katherine
Doodlebug - my dog:
Underneath my chair
getting out from under there
running around here

by Eli:
The rain was pouring
it soon turned to sleet and hail
it turned into snow

by Kiernan:
It flies in the air
you hold the string as it flies
rain makes it fall down

by Gwyn:
A very cute one
it's very fun to have her
a nice little rat

by Samar:
The ocean is cool
everyone loves the ocean
it is very cold

by Grace:
Green, red, blue feathers
my four birds eat their almonds
Scooby is so big

by Kaleena:
Foxes eat bunnies
red foxes run very fast
fur flies in the wind

by Sophia:
Mozart is a dog
Simba is my favorite one
Sasha is fun fun

by Claire:
The wolf is pretty
she has grace in every stride
she is powerful

Congratulations and thank you for taking the challenge! A $30 gift certificate is on the way to your class!
