It's International DOT day-ish

The 1st grade students celebrated International DOT day. The students read "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds.  We saw how one student explored just a dot and the many variations of the dot.  We also learned that anyone can be an artist and that anyone can influence another person.

Students investigated the creation of a dot or multiple dots.  The students started out with a single small piece of paper and once finished with their first creation, were given another piece of paper a little bigger and then finally finished with an even larger sheet of paper.  Students had many materials available to use and a world of possibilities.  Next week, they will work with the largest paper we have.  I'm excited to see what they'll create in celebration of International DOT day.
