Just make a mark and see where it takes you

One of the stories I read to my first graders is a book called " The Dot" by Peter Reynolds. It's a story about a girl in art class who felt that she couldn't draw and her teacher encouraged her to just make a mark on the paper and the mark she made was a dot. That dot encouraged her to emerge as an artist and encourage other children to make art. Awesome book! Here are some of our "DOT" masterpieces.

It's a great story and it is not very long. If you don't have the book you can listen to it with your children on you tube.
