First, we heard the story

| "The Dot" By Peter H. Reynolds |
This is a story about a little girl who does not feel she is an artist. With some encouragement from her art teacher to "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Vashti makes a dot on her paper and that dot takes her on a journey of discovering the unmasked creativity in herself! I love this story! It is so important to remember that we all have a creative spirit and sometimes we need just a little encouragement to set it free!
Next we made Dots, of course!
The 4 year old's also matched lettered dots on their apple tree! Some children matched uppercase to uppercase while others matched uppercase to lowercase letters! I guess our apple trees are now dot trees!
