Children walked in with excitement on their faces and hands full of backpacks, lunch boxes, and supplies. After settling down, I read The Dot aloud. Many students commented on the wonderful illustrations, use of color, positive and negative space, but many were struck by the comment the teacher makes to the main character, "...just make a mark."
I hope that some of the themes of "honoring effort, how to make your own mark in the world, overcoming conventions, the ability and willingness to encourage and embolden others" carries on through the year. Comments are closed.
