[QUOTE="keista, post: 455560, member: 11965"] [B]Liahona[/B], the PE activity was a choice. Play the structured game or walk the blacktop. She and a friend decided to walk the blacktop. The option of a choice came about because the class usually plays kickball and she HATES (all my kids do) kickball. I find this funny because I was NEVER the sporty type, but kickball was one of the few team sports I actually enjoyed - kicking is easy when you're angry. lol Anyway, I will now be sending her to school everyday with a full water bottle and a sweat/water rag for cooling off.
