International Dot Day!

On September 15, 2021 we celebrated International Dot Day at Seabury School! We read the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. We discussed the difference between a Fixed Mindset and a Growth Mindset. Our day was filled with many exciting activities revolving around "dots".

We used the Scientific Method to discover how many "dots" (drops) of water a penny can hold. Each of the students made a hypothesis, tested their hypothesis, recorded their data, analyzed the data and discussed the results. We talked about surface tension and discovered other activities we could try at home to further our learning.

The Dragon Crafters used "dots" (Skittles) to practice their graphing skills. They made individual graphs and then we compiled our data to create a class graph.

To finish off our celebration we used our watercolors to create our own "dot" art. Some of us created "negative space" dots. Others took a simple dot and turned it into a work of art. Still others simply created beautiful dot designs.
