Raymond Elementary Celebrates Dot Day
So it's with great excitement that Raymond Elementary will be celebrating International Dot Day for the first time ever!! Seems like a perfect fit for our school as we're always trying to find ways to celebrate creativity and collaboration. In the art room we read Peter Reynolds' book The Dot. RES artists kicked off the year making lots of different kinds of dots, to decorate our school for Dot Day. We are using so many different materials to create so many colorful dots. Be sure to ask your kids what they are creating in art, they are very proud of their dots. Also, make sure to help your kids dress up for dot day. We are encouraging everyone to wear clothing with dots on it. If you don't have anything at home maybe you could help your child color dots on an old shirt. It should be a lot of fun! We can hardly wait. Below is a link to more information on Dot Day and an idea for creating a dot shirt.
