Snapshots from September

International DOT Day is a global celebration about learning how to make your mark on the world. We had such a great celebration! We read Peter Reynolds' book "The Dot". We talked about learning how to make choices that will lead us to a successful life. We drew and shared what we want to be when we grow up and how what we learn and do TODAY helps us toward that goal. We Skyped with a FIrst Grade Class from New Jersey and sang a special song about making our mark! We are creating 2 special trees in the hall with all the other first graders that represents our future! We sorted and counted "dots". We Tweeted about DOT day with other classrooms from around the world! I hope your child shared some of their experiences with you. Here are some pictures :

 

 

Hope you enjoyed this September Snapshot of 1st Grade!
