Kelly's PE Class
Kelly loved school, especially PE class. She was a very good student and enjoyed reading and math. But Kelly had a 1 time in PE class. She could not run really fast and she was not good at jumping. Sometimes, the other kids in her PE class gave her a hard time and made fun of her. So why would Kelly love PE class?
The reason Kelly enjoyed going to PE class was that Mr. Burns, her teacher, always told her to do her best. Even if she only ran for a few 2, Mr. Burns said, "Good job. Next time, you will be able to go little longer." Mr. Burns even put small box on the gym floor so Kelly could practice jumping over it. "Great job, Kelly! ""You get better every day!"
That night when Kelly finished dinner she began practicing 3 over boxes. She could jump over three boxes! The next day Kelly did jump over three boxes in class. The other kids started to 4 how well Kelly was doing and said to her, "Good job!"
It was Tuesday and time for the weekly relay race in PE class. Kelly was 5 that she would not be able to go very far, or some kids would laugh at her. But, when Mr. Burns said, "Ready, go," Kelly thought, I can do it, I can do it. As Kelly ran around the track, she found herself moving 6 into first place! Suddenly, she heard many cheers and kids yelling, "Go Kelly! You can do it!" That was all she needed to hear. Kelly ran as fast as she could, and headed for the finishing line. She made it! Kelly finished first! The kids clapped and cheered for her. Kelly felt so good and 7 of herself. "Thank you, Mr. Burns," said Kelly. "Kelly, you ran the race, not me." "Yes, but you always said I could 8 it.
After that day, Kelly tried her hardest at everything, and the kids no longer made fun of her. In fact, when the kids needed someone on their team for running, Kelly was the first person they picked! Thanks to Mr. Burns, Kelly had the confidence she needed to do anything!
