Any suggestions on talking to the teacher?

Today my daughter's class and another kindergarten class had the Thanksgiving performance. They all had fun and very cute. But I am not sure how the teacher did the setting. All the other girls either stand with another girl or three of them together. Only my daughter is standing alone among boys. Some kids got a part to speak, some kids got a part to hold the sign. My daughter is the only girl who did not do anything. After the performance, the kids had refreshment. Again, her place mat was set among boys. She is the only girl sitting there with boys. My daughter is a relatively shy kid. But if given a chance and encouragement, she loves to open up. We tried play dates and she loves it. She just started making friends in school. I have talked to her teacher at the beginning about her personality and she needs encouragement to open up. The teacher is very nice and sweet. She told me that she would love to help my daughter making friends in school. Now, I am very confused and hurt when I saw her quietly standing and sitting there alone. Am I too sensitive? Shall I mention this incident to the teacher?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I would talk to that teacher. Your daughter could just be more comfortable playing with boys. i know I was.
BTW that will help her in the career world. i work in primarily a male world. I am a computer wed admin and an Emergency medical Tech. Being able to relate to guys makes that work all that much easier.
