A little note goes a long way. My principal at the building I share left this for my colleague and I.
2nd grade made buddy dots for #DotDay ! We colored a dot, cut half to keep, then gathered two quarters from classmates’ dots to make a whole new creation.
ALWAYS grateful for the sharing of @wendygarland.bsky.social ! Thanks to her our 4th grade Ss were thrilled with our new dot punches and made some very creative #DotDay bookmarks.
A 5th grader on a scavenger hunt of books by call numbers referred to graphic novels as “the holy grail of the library.” Circ stats confirm this. 🤣
This year’s 5th graders are learning more about Louis Braille’s system of dots for #DotDay!
My students love the Make + Take Your Own Bookmark station in the school library⤵️

Now that students can take up to 5 books home, we are practicing being respectful and making selections that include “2 of a kind” so there are some for others.
#DotDay fun:
Kindergarten Ss are working their fine motor skills by drawing dots in the first letter of their name, then adding dot stickers.
1st graders are designing a shrinky dink dot -tiny versions coming soon!
Inspired by @illinimccoy.bsky.social I created a video to explain how Open Library works. They are riveted. The live version of "me" is just not as enticing.
