Today we celebrated "Dot Day" in first grade by reading one of my favorite books, The Dot, by Peter H. Reynolds. Here's an excerpt from the Dot Day website about the day:

International Dot Day is named for the classic Peter H. Reynolds storybook The Dot. Available in English and many other languages, the book shares the story of a girl who begins a journey of self-discovery after a caring teacher challenges her to “make her mark.”

We all "made our marks" today with dot artwork inspired by the book. I will post the full gallery of our dots artwork very soon!
