International Dot Day is on September 15th. There are so many ways to celebrate that dot 365 days a year! A dot might be small, but it’s a powerful way to show your unique individuality and creativity.
1. Set up your STEAM mini spark recording page: #37: International Dot Day
2. Get started exploring the dot by watching “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds. What is the message of the book? Record your answer on your recording page. Use at least 3 sentences.
5. Listen to the song, the Dot. What things do you do to encourage others, show persistence, and spread positivity. Write 2-3 sentences about this on your recording page.
5. Timed Creative Challenge. Have another person print this challenge sheet you so you don’t see it until you are ready to start. You need a pencil or colored pencils and a timer set to 3 minutes. Turn the challenge over and read the directions. Start your timer. When you are done add a picture of your drawings to your recording sheet.
5. Share your STEAM mini spark recording page and your dot challenge with your teacher/EY coordinator.
OPTIONAL PROJECT
Create a dot on a piece of paper. You can use markers, crayons, paint, or colored pencils.
Animate your dot. Use the app Chatterpix Kids. Launch Chatterpix Kids. Snap a photo of your art, then add a talking mouth. You now have 30 seconds of recording time to talk about your dot!
Save the Chatterpix Kids video onto your camera roll, then share it with your teacher.
