Dot Day

Yesterday we celebrated International Dot Day in our classroom.  We started off the day by reading the book The Dot by Peter Reynolds.  As a class we discussed the “big idea” of the book – never give up! After the Read Aloud each student colored in their own dot.  With the help of Ms. Betsy students placed their dot on the floor, opened the colAR Mix app and watched their Dot come to life (3-D).  Students then took a screen shot of their 3-D dot and uploaded the photograph of their 3-D dot to the classroom website.  In the afternoon we were able to look at our classmates’ dots and comment on them.  For more information on International Dot Day click here.  We can’t wait to comment and learn about other classrooms thanks to International Dot Day!  Below are some photographs of our 3-D dots.
