Dot Day -- September 15, 2016

We had a VERY busy day in room 6!  We celebrated Kevin’s birthday and International Dot Day. 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. After students colored their own dot they made it become 3-D.  It was wonderful to see students working together, placing their dots on the floor, opening the Quiver app and watching their Dot come to life!  Students then (with the help of a buddy) took a screen shot of their 3-D dot.  Some students learned how to uploaded the photograph of their 3-D dot to their own blog, we still have some to finish tomorrow!  What amazing 2nd graders!!  

Next week we are going to connect with classrooms all over the world and comment on their dots.  For more information on International Dot Day click
