Dot Day was inspired by the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. The story is about a "caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage." (thedotclub.org)
It was time for our grade 3 class to discover our own creativity and to be reminded how much potential we each have.
We started off the day by reading The Dot and discussing the themes and important messages the story gives us. We then started planning out our art project called Dot Art, which is a picture made up of only dots. We brainstormed what we wanted our pictures to look like, and drew rough sketches.
Later in the day, we started creating our Dot Art by using wooden sticks dipped in paint to create a picture made up of tiny dots. While we were working on our Dot Art,we finished off International Dot Day with the video of the The Dot on Youtube.
We had a great time celebrating our creativity and potential today in grade 3 with International Dot Day, and can't wait to take part next year! Check out the pictures below to get a glimpse into our day.
