International Dot Day


International Dot Day grew out of Peter Reynolds' book, The Dot.  

On International Dot Day, September 15, 
you are encouraged to make your mark
by starting, simply, with a dot
and then seeing where that takes you
and then signing
your dot
or your dot explosion!

See Fablevision here for more information
and for clips of students celebrating Dot Day

and then see here for librarian Mr. Schu's blog about Dot Day

. . . 

and then, you know,
go make your mark,
mm?

You don't have to wait
until September 15,
mm?
