Jakob's Report Card - 1st Semester

Jakob is in the first grade this year and it is sure going by quickly!  I cannot believe we are already halfway done with the school year.  He is learning more and more each day!  Jakob has commented that first grade is going to get harder after the Winter Break as they prepare for 2nd grade.  Interesting to hear since I teach 8th grade and we are constantly telling them that we are making sure they are ready for high school.
