Teacher Comments: Jacob did great the first half of this semester, and he really
committed himself to his coursework. He spent a lot of time on his homework, taking care to really absorb the material and
give his all to his presentations and coursework. That said, some of the math was a struggle this semester. Now that the family
has relocated to another town, a math tutor will be helping Jacob with his problem areas in math.
