Donald Crews and Ten Black Dots

The girls were introduced to their first author of the month--Donald Crews.  We gave the girls some background on Mr. Crews and showed them many of his books, including Night at the Fair, Parade and Harbor.  Their favorite fact was that he called his beloved grandmother "Bigmama"!  

After the girls explored some of his books, we read 10 Black Dots. Donald Crews incorporates black dots in funny and creative ways throughout his book.  After we read the story, the girls had to create their own picture using mini Oreos as their black dots.  The girls had a great time creating their own unique pictures.
