Ten Black Dots! Day ten. We read the story Ten Black dots by Donald Crews. (We have had Donal Crews as a mentor in our literacy place unit for the last week and a half so we are familiar with his work). Each student is then given a page with the number word and coordinating amount of dots on it. There is no logical lay out to the dots, they are simply randomly placed on the paper. I have done this two ways, first use sticker dots on white paper and second, on a computer program typed the word and randomly placed the digital dots on the paper. Either work equally as well. Each student then gets a page to the ten black dots class book and makes something out of their dots. I then assemble the book and place it in our class books center that is completed during the week!This sums up days 1-10 in first grade!
