How will you make your mark on the world? This is the main question and theme of the amazing picture book
The Dot by Peter Reynolds. Vashti, a young art student lacks confidence in her abilities until her teacher convinces her otherwise. On Friday, September 25th, all Gainfield students at G.E.S. read an electronic version of this book during library class. In art class, students made a dot using different mediums. In music class, students learned The Dot Song, a wonderful tribute to this book. Finally, in P.E. students are playing games related to circles and dots. Throughout the school are dot posters for how students can make their mark at G.E.S. We will continue to reflect on the message of this book as the year progresses. Dot Day Rocks!
