2nd Grade - The Dot 

   We will begin class creating dots!  Yes--1-5 dots of varying sized and colors.  Then we will read the story of The Dot, by Peter H. Reynolds.  We will learn to problem solved and turn our dots into works of art.  We will also use some time to trace hands and color them for a durational artwork in 5th grade, (we trace and keep our hand until 5th grade then make a project out of our growing hands.)
