International Dot Day, part 2

What do we love about 1st Fridays?

all ages working side by side,

the pleasure of doing something different,

everybody creating in their own way,

collaboration,

even the grown ups like it,

and everybody helps with the clean up.

Our classroom is used for working on the dot mural on 1st Fridays.  We turn up the music and give everybody a paint brush with the instruction to paint dots any way they want.  We end up with the most amazing murals!  This is the second group of children creating a mural.  By the time our 1st Friday rotation is over, 5 different groups of kids will have painted dots and circles.  (they are on display in the lunch room)  "The Dot" by Peter Reynold is an engaging story about gaining confidence to create art  and celebrating those creations.  It is the perfect vehicle for promoting a growth mind set.  Feel like creating with us?  Join us on the 1st Friday of next month!

While 15 of our Seabury friends were in our room, the rest of the school was busy cooking, building, paper crafting and reading.  Makes for a fun morning at Seabury.
