Over the past week in class we celebrated
International Dot Day. Right now you may be scratching your head wondering what
International Dot Day is. This day has been set aside each year for classrooms
around the world to get connected and to inspire students to make their mark!
Based on the story "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds, students discover
their inner artist and the ways in which they can make their mark. Often in
class I overhear students lament about their inability to draw. However, we learned
that we are ALL artists and that making a single dot on a paper is a way to
"make our mark". The students were challenged to "make their
mark" by drawing dots in crayon along the first letter in their name.
