International DOT Day - September 15th

Celebrate International DOT Day in your classroom this week!  This holiday began with a book - The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds.  You can read the book OR you can find a read aloud of the book on youtube!  The book tells a great story of a child learning to value their own art.  At the end of the book this child passes on what they have learned to another child.

For this challenge, you need very few materials.  The STEM challenge is:

Can you create the largest paper dot from a sheet of paper?

Use any size paper you want and any color of paper.  I give my own students assorted colors of 8.5 x 11 cardstock.  These look great hanging on a bulletin board.  

You can also use white cardstock paper and have students paint dots on the paper BEFORE they make the largest dot. 

This pack also contains an informational page about Dot Day!
