Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can't draw - she's no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. And then there is The Dot Project by a class of first graders and their teacher, Mr. Colosi: http://www.thedotproject.org/ The world is invited into their project as well. Lots of fun!!

I love the illustration style here - very reminiscent of Quentin Blake. As always your questions and activities give dimension and room for learning in what is already a super book Rating: ★★★½ (4 stars). Review posted on granitemedia.org: http://www.granitemedia.org/2014/01/dot/Share your creativity: International Dot Day is celebrated all over the world, and you can share your artwork with everyone observing the holiday by posting your pictures with the hashtags #InternationalDotDay and #MakeYourMark on social media. Resources to Support Your Teaching of International Dot Day Many times, however, a person's own dot book will contain their own specialized shorthand to represent their location on the field. Dot books can vary from simple (providing only the location of the marcher) to complex (also providing the location of nearby marchers whom you are guiding). This poses problems when players are switched between positions on the field: switching dot books is often difficult and many times players end up rewriting their dot books.

The Dot - Peter H. Reynolds - Twinkl

I think at some point many people who love books and children daydream about writing a picture book . . . "It would be so easy. All I need is a cute idea and a good illustrator." I have read well over 1,000 picture books in the last two years, and I read dozens more every week to my son. As we shared books by Mo Willems, Karen Beaumont, Audrey Wood and Don Wood , Holly Hobbie and other amazing creators, I have realized there is much more to writing a children's book than a cute idea. Magic is involved. Magic and cleverness and an understanding of the way children think. It is a rare quality. When I finished reading Dot. to my son I wondered how in the world this book got published (for reasons I will explain in a moment). Then I saw who the author was and understood. Connections. Money talks and names sell books. Find out how people have created art throughout history. What were the first types of art? What materials were used? How has art changed through the years?Most children struggle at some point and feel like they just can’t do something. The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds is a wonderful story that helps to show that with a little perseverance and a change of perspective, amazing things are possible. You can find out more about this growing movement, and what Terry Shay and Peter H. Reynolds have to say about it, in our blog What is International Dot Day? It's got teacher-made resources created especially for this day. Soy una fiel creyente que los libros para niños no tienen que enseñar nada pero debe ser bueno, y este libro cumple con mostrar cosas importantes y es excelente. Do you really think you can’t do it, or is it just that it is difficult and needs practise to become better?
