Hurray for DOT DAY 2023!
September 15, 2023
What is Dot Day?
International Dot Day is a global celebration of creativity, courage, and collaboration.
The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to "make her mark". What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults.
And each year on International Dot Day - with the help of people just like you - the inspiration continues. What started as a story in the pages of a book is transforming teaching and learning as people of all ages re-discover the power and potential of creativity in all they do.
Should I wear dots on Dot Day?
Yes!
And your students should too! Have fun!
