International Dot Day at Hudson

Hudson Project Plus students celebrated International Dot Day September 15ish, 2015. Classrooms all over the world participated by doing dot activities  The students read the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds and engaged in many activities that involved dots.  Some of the students even dressed in dots for the day by decorating t-shirts and shoes or finding clothes with dots in the closet at home.  They each used the Elements of Creativity to turn a chalkboard dot into something with the dot being the focus of the drawing.  They listened to Native Australian Aboriginal music and studied Aboriginal Dot Painting before creating dot paintings of their own.  Domino math challenges, extreme dot-to-dots, and dot quilt pieces rounded out the day.  It was great fun!
