Another Poetry Slam in the books. Students did a wonderful job even though they admitted to being nervous @CotsenAoT @GeorgiaHeard1 #teacherlife

"One of the most important life lessons that writing & reading poetry can teach our students is how to reach into and honour their well of feelings-their emotional lives-like no other forms of writing can. Poetry, by its nature, teaches emotional literacy." Thanks @GeorgiaHeard1.
