Beena- Walk in, came at the end, rides a scooter so was able to balance quickly, and try a bit of pedaling.

Sangeetha- Accompanying her daugher Yazini, Sangeetha worked on scooting ang getting her balance right.

Yazhini- Star of the day, The 7th grader was able to balance and scoot quite well, and moved on to pedaling by the end of the session.

Ongoing Learners:

Bharat- Pedaling well now, has managed to correct his lurch almost fully.

Fathima- Nadias friend managed get her balance right in scooting, and started to pedal today.

Nadia - Moved on to pedaling today, on te lower end of the slope, both donhill and uphill. Struggled a bit on uphill, needs to develop more leg strength.
