Product Description

When your class needs to shake out the wiggles — or settle down after recess — Reindeer is ready to help! In this reindeer movement adapted book, "Reindeer Can, Can You?", students copy Reindeer's poses to practice imitation, gross motor movement, and body awareness. It's the perfect movement break, brain break, or calming transition, and it doubles as an interactive adapted book with a matching piece for every pose — a festive favorite your students will want to do again and again.
