Every class is reading and discussing the book, "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds in preparation for Dot Day, which we will celebrate on Friday September 18th. Dot Day is actually an international holiday, celebrated all over the world, all because of the powerful message in the story!
1st graders discussed the deeper meanings and takeaways from the book.
"What can we learn from how the characters behaved?"
Many responses included:
- Don't give up even if you're not feeling confident
- Bravely express your ideas and feelings
- Encourage others
- Be proud of yourself and your creations
- Make a mark and see where it takes you
- Don't be afraid to start
Here are some of the first grade students working on their watercolor and crayon resist pieces for Dot Day.
