Using literature to inspire children to become confident learners, an art lesson, and a math activity.
In Peter Reynolds' story the young girl Vashti believes she cannot draw, but when her teacher gently tells her to "just make a mark," she jabs a dot on a blank sheet of paper and the art teacher asks her to sign her name. When Vashti goes to her art class the next week she see's that her teacher has framed the dot and hung it up for all to see. Vashti discovers a new confidence in herself and passes it along to another child she notices feeling the same way she did.
Beautiful art work was created for the classroom using "DOTS" - 100 to be exact.
10 colors. 10 dots of each color.
