A.3-5 years-old
B.5-7 years-old
C.8-10 years-old
D.11-13 years-old
I pick the letter D, can someone check my answer.
I don't know how I'd choose among B, C, and D!! I know girls in all 3 age groups who fit!
I agree D. 11-13 girls are independent, and like beating boys.
Several years ago, two 12-year-olds -- a boy and a girl -- in my class were each boasting about how fast they could run. They were so intense that I let them go out to the sidewalk and race. (I think the girl won). Within less than 5 minutes everyone was back in the classroom and ready to work. They had to get this important question solved before they could concentrate on regular school work.
The girls are always wanting to compete with the boys. Thanks each of you for your help.
IS NOT D FOR SHORE,I THINK IS C
