Making Our Mark!

We love, love, LOVE reading books, and this week a brand new Peter Reynolds book was released, Say Something! Mr. Reynolds is an inspiring children's author and illustrator who creates stories with an important message. 





You'll never believe it, but over the weekend while our librarian Mrs. Nixon was visiting his Blue Bunny bookstore in Massachusetts, Peter himself bumped into Mrs. Nixon! Look what we have here at Jean Vanier now! Eeeeeek!

Excited by this special new book, Mrs. Beliveau declared our very own "Peter Reynolds day"! Here are a few favourites from our library that we are enjoying:

One of Mr. Reynolds' classic stories is called The Dot! The Dot encourages children to embrace their own creativity and take a risk. 

Feeling inspired, the children set to work making their mark! Using dots and paper strips, plus heaps of creativity, we made spectacular 3D art!

Such colourful, joyful dots!

Keep making your mark, kids! You are ALL God's masterpiece!
