Connect the Dot Stories!

After reading Peter H. Reynold's fabulous book The Dot, we put together a fun "Connect the Dots" writing project with our blogging buddies. We hope to get some fun stories!

Here are the steps we took to set up our "Connect the Dots" stories!

Step 1: Each team made a collection of words from the story or words used in our classroom. 

The collection could be five to six words. 

Step 2: Each person on the team wrote one word on a dot and then cut it out. 

Step 3: Each person on the team decorated their dot. 

Step 4: This is where YOU come in! Please select a team and write a clever story or poem using all of their words. We can wait to read your story in the comments!

TEAM WILBUR: 

Wilbur the pig, swirly, surfboard, taco, discovered

TEAM BARNABY BONES: 

Barnaby Bones, painted, gazing, carefully, dot

TEAM BEVERLY: 

Beverly, swirly, taco, tomato, gold 

TEAM ARNOLD: 

Arnold, jab, dot, blue, gold, swirly

TEAM PANDA:

We invite you to connect our word dots into a story or poem! 

Good luck!
