Dot Day 2017!
This week, all of our PK-4 students celebrated international Dot Day! What is Dot Day? Based on the book The Dot by Peter Reynolds, Dot Day celebrates that everyone, no matter how small, can make a difference in the world. It is also a day for connecting with others.
This week for Dot Day, our students at Harrison were connected with students at schools in Canada (2), New York, and Texas in various ways! After reading the book, students in grades K-4 each decorated a dot.
Then, we cut the dots in half and sent one of the halves off to students in Canada and New York. Next week, we will hopefully receive their dot halves and we will connect their halves to our own halves. Stay tuned for pictures of our combined dots!
Also this week, Ms. Olson's class had a great opportunity to meet students in Texas! Through Skype, we asked each other questions about the book and questions about our location. It was so interesting to see and talk to them!
Our Pre-K students participated by reading different books about dots (circles). We read the books What is a Shape and Put Me in the Zoo. Afterwards, we had fun playing with circles!
We had such a great week talking about how we can make a difference in the world and connecting with others!
Happy Reading!
