We kicked off our celebration of International Dot Day. The Dot is written and illustrated by Peter. H Reynolds. I love this book because it encourages to take on challenges and not to be afraid of making mistakes. Through practice, hard work and not giving up, we can grow our intelligence, talents and abilities. I use it to reinforce our development of a Growth Mindset
Young Fives Kudzia
They made dots by painting a plate and pressing it to their paper. This introduced printmaking. Mia was so excited to learn that yellow and blue make green

Today the 5th graders experimented with creating different kinds of lines with strips of paper. Plus, the had to work as a team to construct a sculpture using these lines. Next art class the will make individual sculptures using the knowledge they cultivated with this experimental group project.
