Hooray for DOT DAY! #dotday
September 15th (ish)
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 around the globe.
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 around the world as people of all ages re-discover the power and potential of creativity in all they do.
Let Mrs. Berumen help!
KCAN will feature The Dot after morning announcements starting next week.
Additionally, I can help:

-Seek and Schedule #DotDay Connections for you
-Host #DotDay connections in the Library
