Ten Black Dots and Swimmy

We started our "fun Friday" by reading 10 Black Dots by our author of the month, Donald Crews.  He 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.

The girls added another petal to their daisy people today--resilient.  We read Swimmy by Leo Lionni and had a great discussion about when they've had to be resilient in their lives. The girls then drew in crayon their favorite scene from the book where Swimmy had to show resiliency.  After that, they painted over their scene in blue paint, creating a wonderful underwater picture.
