First game

Amidst the stress of real estate deals and moving, I have been worrying about Julia. She made great progress in school this year but did not come away with much that she needs to be successful in kindergarten. Working together two days ago and using some 3.5" disks that were on the table, I laid out five of different colors, went over the colors with Julia, and then asked her to pick up a specific colored disk. It took her a long time to do what I asked. It was as if she had no idea of what to do. We worked slowly and sometimes needed cherries as a reward for doing what I asked.

This became our first game and I will use it often now as we work to cement what she knows of colors and work on numbers.
