The Colors of Running
Run the Seasons

Running Rainbows
by Elizabeth, Age 6

From our Fall Running Journal | The Animal Run
This story came from a 'story starter' that goes something like this: Have you ever seen an animal when you went running in the fall? What did it do? Did it run away from you? Write a make believe story and have that animal come along with you for your run.


Once upon a time I saw a deer. It came with me running. The deer and I leaped as we ran.

Suddenly it started to rain, so we ran into a cave.

Then we came out. When we came out we saw a rainbow.

We leaped over the rainbow. When we leaped and landed we had rainbow bracelets on.

They were beautiful. We said, "Thank you," to the rainbow and we went home.
This is a beautiful and imaginative story written by one of my first graders...in class, with no help.

In this story, the colors of fall, are in the shape of a bracelet.
