International Dot Day

This week, students at Rue celebrated International Dot Day. Over 1 million people in 82 countries participated! The idea was inspired by Peter Reynolds' book The Dot. After reading the book, we viewed many dots created by some of our favorite authors. We noticed that evidence of how they are making their mark was evident in their dots. So, we thought about how we are making our marks and created our own dots.
Our Dots
Each class added their dots to a canvas.
Soon, each canvas will be displayed in our hallway.
Stop by and see them!

Today, we Skyped with Mrs. Kress and her class in Grove City, Ohio. We shared our dots and examples of how were are making our marks on the world. Their class worked with the theme, "Alone we make a mark. Together we make an impact." We can't wait to see their finished project!
