Today with Jack and four other children we read a book called Bears Left and Right By: Keith Faulkner. The book is an interactive book where children can pull tabs to see what under the bears left and right paw. After reading the story we played twister. The first time I spun the spinner and told them where to put their hand or foot, and after they got the hang of the game the children took turns being the spinner and with the help of an adult read what the spinner said, and some of the children just made up what it said. Jack was very engaged in the game. He had some difficulty distinguishing right from left, but he knew the colors very well. He also had some trouble trying to balance while keeping his feet and hands in place. All of the children were having fun and laughing when they had trouble balancing and when they fell they would just get up and try again.
