“This year in physical education, we are skip counting by any number. We are skip counting by 3’s. We don’t only do exercises, we also play games. What I like about physical education is that we play different sports and games. Physical education is important because it's a time to have fun. Also it’s to learn new things. This shows PS 115 is a great school because it has activities.”
