Celebrating International Dot Day
Today we celebrated INternational Dot Day. INternational Dot Day is based upon Peter Reynold's book, The Dot, which tells the story of a young child who discovers that even the tiniest little dot can make a huge mark on the world and her surroundings. The students created dots in our classroom as part of our new unit on the life cycle of the butterfly, with each dot representing a different body part of a caterpillar. Later in the day we had a dot scavenger hunt. The students took turns using our digital camera, taking pictures of dots around our school. In reader's workshop, we searched for and high-lighted dots (also known as periods!) in our poems and songs, while we practiced fluency and intonation. Enjoy our collage of dots around us!
