What educators are saying

Used this as a first day activity with my students. To go along with reading the dot by Peter H Reynolds. My students loved it and went home telling their parents all about the towers they made.
Great activities for Dot Day with low prep! My students loved having the time to create and reflect during our morning meeting.
