International Dot Day is a celebration of creativity inspired by The Dot written and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. It is a day to think about ways in which we can use our special talents to make the world a better place.
Here in our classroom, Dot Day became Dot Week! We read three Peter Reynold's books that inspired our creativity and got us thinking about how each one of us can make a difference. We decided that "reading is thinking" and by thinking deeply as we read, our brains get smarter. As Ms. Copland blew bubbles, we pondered the question:
"How is blowing bubbles like thinking?"
~Believe in yourself
~Persevere
~Think outside the box
~One person can make a difference
We created our own dots to represent the ways in which we can each "make our mark" on the world.
