Visiting KIPP; Wendy Swims!

We visited KIPP Academy today and the girls met all the teachers and also had lunch and spent time with a few of my Spanish-speaking students. They are getting a bit overloaded with all the picture-taking, but we did manage to get a few photos -- the first one below taken by Wendy.



While I was meeting with Blanca and Kate the girls were entertained by a video and then did some drawing.

And, HUGE milestone when we got back home for the swim lesson -- Wendy decided to join Fer and she SWAM!! She was very scared at first but got over her fear quickly, thanks to her teacher Jennifer's calm encouragement. She did so well and we were so proud! Fer continues to grow with her swiming skills as well. She got herself all the way down to the deep end and back by herself today!
