Back To School 2014
Welcome
DOT DAY is Monday September 15th!
How can YOU celebrate Dot Day?
Starting on 9/2 Storytime for grades K-2 will be all about DOT day - we will be making our own dots to share with our school and also share with other students.
SKYPE with another class - because of Cogat testing the week of Dot day we will not have as much time to Skype with other classes - BUT if you would like your class to skype with another class to exchange dots - share how your class can be creative or even just share the Dot story with another class let me know and I will try and connect you to another class!
For grades 3-5 - I want YOU to participate too!! Have your class make DOTs - have your class COLLABORATE on a DOT - even collaborate on a dot online or create a Dot and have the students share on a Padlet what it means to be creative and think outside the box. and again - if you would like to connect with another class let me know and I will try my hardest to find a time and a class to connect with.
and don't forget - WEAR DOTS on DOT DAY - WAIT until you see Cyndy Palmers SHOES for DOT DAY!!
Story Time
Here is what I have planned for upcoming story times. If you teach grades 3-5 and want to participate in one of these, let me know and we can tailor it to your grade level.
