Kim Is Kinesthetic, Part 1

Sue groaned, "Ohhhh, we have phys. ed. next period."


"I love P.E.," her friend Kim said. "It's my favorite class."


"That's because you're a star athlete," Sue said. "No wonder you do so well in gym class. You're good at every sport."


"I wish I was good at other subjects," Kim said. "My mom said if I don't get my grades up, I won't be playing softball this spring. I'm really trying, but I just don't seem to get it. And I hate sitting in class all the time. I need to get up and move. Maybe there's something wrong with me."


"Maybe you should go to the learning center," Sue told Kim. "I'll bet it can help you with your school subjects. It's an okay place; I've been there a couple of times."


"You, Miss Straight-A Student?" Kim teased.


Sue chuckled. "Yeah, but they couldn't help me learn how to dribble a basketball," she joked. "It's only for academic subjects. But seriously, Mr. Ellis is great; he knows all kinds of ways to help kids learn. If you want, I'll go with you after school and introduce you to him."


"If you really think it will help," Kim said. "I'm willing to try anything so I can play softball."
