Happy First eduTech Tuesday, everyone!
I'll be blogging every Tuesday and it's a thrill for me to start with this one...
As we begin the year, encouraging our students to "make their mark", know that International Dot Day is just around the corner - September 15. This special day celebrates Peter H. Reynolds' The Dot. After reading this timeless book, kids will be inspired to create more dots of their very own. This book provides a great message about creativity and no one does it better than Peter H. Reynolds.
By clicking on International Dot Day, you will be invited to sign up so you and your class can be counted. This idea came from one teacher (who blogged about it) and now, it has over 125,000 participants celebrating from all over the world. Check out the map below. Let's add a bunch from Orinda!
After signing up, you'll be able to download an Educator's Handbook with free student handouts by Peter H. Reynolds and awesome Dot Day activities by creative educators.
Have a GREAT First Day of School tomorrow!
