Mixing Physical Activity and Literacy with Bears in the Night by Tim Reed

There is a particular physical education activity from kindergarten that has somehow stuck in my memory after all of these years. I have often wondered why this is, and I realize it is quite simple—the activity was fun, it challenged emerging physical skills, and it referenced spatial awareness and word recognition. Most importantly, this physical activity linked directly to a great book, Bears in the Night, by Stan and Jan Berenstain.
