The book, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds isn’t just a cute children’s book, it also
holds a very important meaning that every person can succeed even if it takes
some time or means trying different approaches. I would definitely use this book in my
future classroom because the message is positive and will help students feel
empowered and special. It also helps
fuel creativity in students and will be a great lead into a fun community
building activity to do as a whole group.
After reading the book and
discussing the important meaning found it, pass out a dot to each student. Have them glue their picture to one side and
then on the other side, write a goal they have or something they want to
accomplish. Then string the dots into a
long strand and hang it in the classroom.
Revisit the strand in a few weeks to see how the students are
progressing towards their goal and brainstorm as a group ways to help each
other reach their goals.
