International Dot Day (September 15, 2014) is a celebration of creativity, courage, and collaboration. All grades are starting the year off in GT by discussing our strengths and how we can use those strengths to build our character in honor of Dot Day. In class we read The Dot by Peter Reynolds which shows us that when we don't think we are good at something, it's often because we haven't tried and we just need to take the first step. Instead of saying, "It's too hard; I can't do it" we learn to say, "It's challenging, but I can start somewhere." We created our own dots made up of 5 of our strengths and the percentage of that strength that makes up our whole character. We recorded our dots on special paper that show our character dots in 3D when we view them through the app, ColAR Mix (augmented reality). We learned that we each have a special mix of unique traits that we can all share.
