his grammar skills are beyond grade level. Grade: 4 (E)

Art: Jacob detests drawing. I have continued relying
upon online games featuring things of an artistic nature to engage his interest and, again, it only does so on a
minimal basis. This is an area where his lack of interest seems to have a direct correlation to his ability. His fine motor
skills (as well as in the physical act of writing too) and his tactile defensiveness to paper makes this process of improving
his artistic ability very difficult. Grade: N (1)
Music: Jacob continues to practice piano, but has
expressed an interest in learning the drums. Grade: 2 (S)
Physical Education: Jacob is getting more active with
the help of some video games that feature physical activity. He has been exercising on the Total Gym, using the recumbent
bike and going for walks with his family. Grade: 2 (S)
Typing & Computer: Jacob's typing is accurate
and fast for his grade level. Grade: 3 (S)
Teacher Comments - 1st Quarter
