The Twosies loved celebrating International Dot Day!
International Dot Day celebrates the message presented in Peter H. Reynold's Book, The Dot, that everyone has the potential to leave their mark on the world. It all begins with being brave enough to start with just a dot.
We of course began the day by reading the book and discussing the author's message.
We also brainstormed and wrote about ways that we as second graders could make our mark in our homes, school, and community.
We made t-shirts to celebrate Dot Day using a really cool Sharpie tye-dye technique!
You can read about it here:
They turned out so great! I just love them!
We also celebrated the day with a Dot Towers STEM Challenge. The students were challenged to build the tallest tower they could using Dots candies and toothpicks.
Our winning tower was over 10 inches tall!
