I persauded her to put in the sentence about it being hard to walk in the heat - even though it was true. You can't send a 6yo with something too alternative as they won't be able to deal with the responses and the questions that will be asked about it.

And I heard from another mother that the trail was quite difficiults and that there were a group of girls who suffered. In the end even the teacher said she'll recommend an easier trail fro 1st Grade next year. <br />Rachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-51287593664545404592015-03-12T05:09:15.820+02:002015-03-12T05:09:15.820+02:00From Margie in Toronto - too funny!
