Do you love books? Do you love to create hands-on objects? If so, then this is the class for you! Students will introduce themselves when they enter the classroom. Vashti leaves an angry dot on her paper to prove that she can't draw anything. That one little dot marks the beginning of her creative spirit. As they listen to the story, students will discuss how she felt throughout the story. How does her teacher try to make her feel better? Part of having a growth mindset is using your creativity. Vashti used her creativity and made many different types of dots. Your challenge is to create 2 objects out of Dots candy and toothpicks. Students will each have a chance to share their towers. As a group, we will discuss their towers and they will be asked questions such as why they chose the colors/patterns of the dot towers that they created and which tower/structure they like better.
Learning Goals
Students will learn that there is something far more valuable than getting things just "right" and that there is more than 1 way to do things.
