International Dot Day festivities continued at North Ridge Wednesday with librarian Christine Dennis.

After reading Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot, the students went on a dot hunt around the library, chased dots on their beebot board, created their own dots using dot pens, matched the dots on the dominoes, made their own 3D dot creations using brain flakes, colored in their own dot pixel art, and used the Quiver app to make their two-dimensional drawings come to life as a 3D animation in augmented reality.

The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who challenges a doubting student to trust in her artistic ability by being brave enough to “make her mark.” What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage
