Last week we celebrated International Dot Day by reading the book "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds. This story is about a girl who feels like she can't create beautiful pieces of art because all she knows how to draw is a dot. Her teacher inspires her to see how every dot she creates is unique, and shows her how to "make her mark" on this world.

Some of our Dot Day creations made using bingo daubers!

More dot pictures, using bright coloured circles

To follow up with this story, we read another book called "Ten Black Dots". This story inspired us to create pictures using black circles - we used a special punch that made large circles out of black construction paper, and then created our own pictures to help tell a story. We have some of them displayed on our Wonder Wall, and we can't wait to show you at our Meet and Greet night next Wednesday (September 23).

Creating our "Ten Black Dots" inspired art!

*We are looking forward to meeting you and your families at our Meet and Greet BBQ on Wednesday September 23, from 5:00-7:00. At 6:00 a school year blessing will take place either outside or in the gym, and then students will be invited to visit their classrooms with their families.
