Peter Reynolds' picture book, The Dot, has inspired so many people around the world that it now has it's own day! September 15th is International Dot Day, a day to "Make Your Mark" and "Connect the Dots"! In my classroom, we watched and listened to The Dot, as read by Mr. Reynolds himelf, using the Fablevision program Big Screen Books. We also enjoyed a 10 minute virtual author visit that is also included in the program. When it was over, a number of kids asked, "Can we watch it again?!"
After talking about the story, we started our Sharpie Tie-Dye T-shirts. This is a simple activity that uses permanant markers and rubbing alcohol. Please enjoy the story and our slideshow. :)
