Evaluating James

So I found this list of common things that kids need to know in Kindergarten, and before I start I thought it would be nice to have a rough idea of what James knows and what we'll be working on next semester. This is a rough estimation because he's not home right now. I'll probably change as we go :) My goal is to have all these 'skills' crossed off :)
