This year, our class celebrated International Dot Day! First, we read The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, which is a story about a girl named Vashti who believes she cannot draw. In frustration, Vashti jabs her pen on the art paper to make a dot. Vashti's teacher views her paper thoughtfully, then asks her to sign it. The next day, Vashti's dot is proudly displayed in a gold frame above the teacher's desk. Vashti gains confidence in her ability to be creative and sets to work making more and more dots.
Our class loves to read the book over and over again! I think we've read it at least 10 times already. It has turned out to be a very inspirational book. Here is their wonderful art in the style of Vashti! These kids are ready to "Make their Mark"!
