Happy "Dot" Day!


Today is International Dot Day - the birthday of the inspiring book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. I posted about our preparations for this day here, and today I'd like to share some of our 3rd graders products created in the spirit of Vashti, who "just made her mark"...





      
I made this poster to help us remember the lesson -
it is like our motto when we start something new
                             







students chose which media they wanted to use,  and we discussed the differences
Watching the animated story was really fun
