International Dot Day Celebration

Fourth grade students celebrated International Dot Day this week during their library checkout time with Mrs. Jennings.  They watched a video presentation of the book The Dot written by Peter H. Reynolds.  The author invites us all to "make a mark and see where it takes us".  Students shared their ideas about the book's theme of encouragement and discussed how characters in the story "filled buckets".  Fourth graders then made their own Dot creations using the Tux Paint software and enjoyed a Dot treat, one for themselves and one to share.
