Final week, Warren Elementary Middle celebrated creativity, collaboration, and braveness.
It began with a dot.
Thursday was Worldwide Dot Day — based on the youngsters’s guide “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds.
College students had been inspired to put on garments with dots on them. They learn the guide with Librarian Laura Demers. They made dots in Katie Keeports’ second grade classroom. They usually made digital artwork utilizing dots in STEM.
Within the guide, the principle character thinks she will be able to’t draw, STEM Trainer Mandi McBriar mentioned. Her instructor suggests she draw a dot. And her artwork grows from there.

McBriar had college students from Rayme Scalise’s second grade classroom make laptop artwork utilizing dots.
There was a problem.
“Most of those college students have by no means used a mouse earlier than,” Scalise mentioned.
Trendy units imply college students’ day-to-day expertise relies on touchscreens.
So, McBriar gave them a couple of moments and just a little instruction in mouse use. After that, they had been on their very own.
And, just like the artwork within the guide, their artworks grew from single dots.
