Are you creative? Not everyone can be a famous artist, writer, or musician, but, everyone does have some creativity waiting inside them just waiting to be released.
That's what Vashti learns in the pages of Peter H. Reynolds' famous children’s book, The Dot. At first, Vashti believes that she can't draw. Her teacher encourages her to "make a mark and see where it takes you."
Vashti draws a simple dot and her teacher asks her to sign it. When Vashti sees her dot framed and on display in her teacher's office, she's inspired to make an even better dot. With this, she grows in confidence and realizes she is indeed a creative artist.
Students and teachers celebrated International Dot Day today, September 15th at the elementary. We encourage our learners daily of all the great things they can accomplish if they just believe in themselves and work hard.
Big shout out to the CES PTO who provided Twister games for gym class and boxes of Dots candy for everyone!
