Jog-a-Thon

Today, Oct.19th, is the day of the Jog-a-Thon. The Jog-a-Thon of Ellwood School 2007. Last year it was called "Under the Sea". This year it was called "Olympic". That day, my dad came to take pictures. Mrs. Morgan, and Mrs. Torres, who are my teachers, all came and watched us. We ran at 11:00am. My goal is to run more than last year's number of laps:  23 laps. I practiced and practiced at home. When it was time, I quickly changed my t-shirt. After that, we got to the field. When they said "GO!", I ran with all my might. I ran until the time was over.I went to the other side of the field and got a ribbon and a popcicle.The ribbon was blue and it had a word on it that was wriiten in gold saying "ACHIEVEMENT". The popcicle was red with a little yellow. Then my dad came over to me and asked, "Guess how many laps you've run?". I first guessed that it was 25,and the next time I guessed that it was 30. Then my dad said that it was 40. I was so happy because my goal came true. Then we were going to eat lunch. After that, we ate popcorn and watched a movie called Chicken Little. Finally, the bell rang, and it's time to go home!
