Make a mark! Isn't that a simple, but fabulous message? In Peter H. Reynolds' book, The Dot, he tells a fabulous story of an encouraging teacher who helps a young student to find the confidence to express her creativity and to make a mark on the world.
I fell in love with this book, and used it as jumping off point for our How We Express Ourselves unit. It could not have been more perfect. Did you know there is even a super catchy song to go with it?
