Rich Civic Times
RANDOLPH, Utah. April 16, 2016. Lexi Johnson's seventh grade class wrote poems about being a pioneer for their Utah History Class. This is in response to a Rich School District program to include writing in every subject Teacher Johnson took it to a new level by publishing the poetry in a lovely volume which includes photographs, poetry and prose which can be purchased for $10 through the district.
All of the students wrote "I am" poems such as the one penned by student, Sydney Hopkins:
I am wet and cold.
I wonder if I'll live through today.
I hear the rushing of the water
I see my little brother crying
I want to sit in a warm house.
I am wet and cold.
I pretend like I am warm.
I feel strong as I carry my little brother across the river.
I touch his little rosy cheeks.
I worry that he will die.
I cry at the thought.
I am wet and cold.
I understand that I am serving my brother.
I say, "I love you" to him.
I dream that we will reach the Salt Lake Valley soon.
I try to be cheerful.
I hope my brother is warm
I am wet and cold.
These books will be in both the Garden City Library and the Randolph City Library for patrons or can be purchased while supplies last.
