We had a great week exploring the works of author Peter H. Reynolds last week in honor of Dot Day-an international celebration of creativity and "can do" attitudes.
From The Dot to -ish to Happy Dreamer we enjoyed stories about children who learned to believe in themselves and their work--even if it wasn't perfect or look exactly like someone else's. We learned that we all have something special share--so we stepped out on faith, made our mark, and created some really great work!!
We started with one of the most special things about us--our names! We had great fun using dots to practice identifying letters and add a little pizzazz to our names.
Then we used a few dots and our imaginations to create a picture on paper. We had everything from Bulldog snowmen to pigs on skateboards! #KindergartenCreativity
Next, we made dots--with dots!
We even used some spheres (marbles) to create some "not dot dot art." #paintfordays #nohands
We had a great time creating with dots--but we also spent time connecting the ideas found in these inspiring books to our reading and writing as well.
If you and your family are not familiar with Peter H. Reynolds be sure to look him up--or let some of our favorite Mustangs read to you!

Work hard, have faith, and make your mark!
