In celebrating "International Dot Day", the early years students have been listening to the story, "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds during library class. The book tells the story of a young girl, Vashti and how she doesn't think she can draw. Her teacher encourages her to leave her mark, so she makes a dot on a piece of paper. Her teacher asks her to sign it and proceeds to hang it in a frame in the classroom. Vashti realizes she can do better than a small dot and proceeds to let her creativity and imagination shine by producing an art gallery's worth of "dot" paintings.
Our gr.1-3 students have been leaving their own mark by designing their own dots for display! Just a small reminder that even small mark can take you on a journey of creativity!
Celebrate International Dot Day on Wednesday by leaving your "dot' somewhere or with someone.
