Tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the year.
International Dot Day
September 15
September 15
A group of teachers joined a little thing called International Dot Day a few years ago, using the story, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds to focus on the importance of creativity. The vision of International Dot Day was to celebrate creativity on the same day all around the world. The number of participants reached close to 800,000.
In four short years, the number is now at 3.8 MILLION -- and counting. This is the day to be a part of something bigger than your class, school, district, state, and country. Students are connecting the dots in ways no one ever imagined in 2009.
Whether you choose to use just one idea or have entire day planned of Dot Day activities, I'm certain the time will be well spent.
Visit the links below for ideas and join the millions of educators who use International Dot Day to Make Their Mark.
