Our second week went really well. I thought that the kids were participating like we wanted and that they enjoyed the activities too. Their favorite game of the entire night seemed to be the bean bag toss. We had our kids each stand across from their target and take turns tossings their bean bags. Ben was very good at this skill and could hardly wait to try and try agian. Katie was really enjoying the game too but she needed a little more practice at aiming than Ben did. With some instruction and encouragement she hit the target a few times and I could tell that she was very pround of herself. Ben was also very proud of himself. It is rewarding to see the kids succeed after they have struggled with something.
In the pool, both of our students are getting more comfortable and they are having a good time. Ben was having a blast dropping the rings to the bottom and helping me to go get them. Katie is still hesitant to put her face in the water, but she is improving and she is a lot of fun to work with.
It sounds like your students are making great progress! I can't wait to see where K is in the pool by the time the semester ends- I believe she is going to make great progress!
