Our students read The Dot and created their own dots as a way to Make Their Mark! Thanks to Peter Reynolds for sharing this story with us!
Things we learned from Vashti and her teacher...
We have to choose how to react when someone upsets us. Vashti's teacher could easily have gotten made at her for making the dot. She didn't and see how it turned out!
Sometimes we do things we aren't proud of when we are frustrated. Vashti probably wasn't proud of how she acted to her art teacher, but she turned a negative into a positive.
Trying new things is always a good idea, even when they are difficult.
Motivation comes in many forms, from "that looks like fun" to "I told you I could do it" to "I'm not going to let anything stop me."
We all have the potential, in just a few words, to make a big difference!
