Kindergarten Stories: 6th Six Week's Report Card

It sure is hard to believe this school year is finished and Jakob graduated Kindergarten!  Over the summer, we will continue to work on reading which is where I saw the most difficulty when it was not done consistently.  We will also be working out of Summer Time Learning starting on Monday.  Jakob officially still has a cast on his right arm, so we will really be working on handwriting once it finally comes off!
