September 15th is International Dot Day!
It all started with a wonderful little book written by Peter H. Reynolds. The book tells the story of student who is encouraged to be brave enough to "make her mark." This book inspires students to discover the artist inside of them.
In the morning we read "The Dot" and also looked at some famous dots by Wassily Kandinsy.

In the morning we practiced drawing our own dots and rings with markers. Then in the afternoon, our Grade 4/5 buddies came to help us paint our dots on slices of wood. We can't wait to show you the finished product.
