@illinimccoy.bsky.social🤯 What a fantastic, widely available resource!
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialThese are VERY interesting differences between grades!
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialSuper cute! What is underneath the yarn?
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialLove your book pairing with this lesson; thank you for sharing, Lori!
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialYay! I love that it continues to be useful for both our Ss.
@illinimccoy.bsky.social- Big, legible signage ✅ - Multiple choices for Ss with different interests✅ You’ve got a great start! Excited to hear how your Ss take to it.
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialWhen we hang them up for display in the library windows ALL the other grade levels are jealous.
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialBatch baking some shrinky dink dots on a rainy afternoon. They are turning out so cute! 🥰
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialYes, a throwback for sure!
@illinimccoy.bsky.social2nd 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.
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialI love this use of a MAGNIFICENT book! đź’ś
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialWhat an excellent, multi-layered fix to a common problem! Nice work, Steve. 🌟
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialALWAYS 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.
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialThis year’s 5th graders are learning more about Louis Braille’s system of dots for #DotDay!
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialOne friend was inspired by his new favorite book - Yarn is Everything! @peterbrownstudio.com
@illinimccoy.bsky.social#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!
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialWe celebrating #DotDay the week after, but still loving it!
These lessons are easily the most materials-intensive ones we do all year, but they are so worth it! We’re prepped and ready to celebrate.
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialI mean, traffic is traffic! 🤣 I just know you’ll develop ways to reel them in.
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialSome of us can also “shuffle the cards all by myself”.
