Ten Black Dots

Today we read a story called Ten Black Dots. In this story the author counts from 1-10 and the dots are used to make a picture about something. I read numbers 1-9 then ask the kids what they think the ten black dots can make. This is a lesson in creativity and thinking outside the box. Here are some different ideas the kids came up with. It is a fun/different/creative lesson... it is cool to see the interesting ideas out there..

A Giraffe...
