International Dot Day- Sept. 15, 2014

Monday, Sept. 15th is officially the celebration of "Dot Day."  This day is based on Peter Reynold's book The Dot, which reminds us that everyone can be creative and make a difference.  We carried that message into our classroom- you are special, show your creativity, and don't be afraid to make a difference.  Throughout the day the students participated in different "Dot" themed activities.  Many of them also came dressed in dots!  Below are some snapshots of our day.

Students work on creating their own unique coffee filter dot to display in our

 classroom gallery.

Many dots were worn on Monday.

Dots, dots, and more dots!
