September 15 is International Dot Day , a celebration of the power of the creative spirit in all of us! International Dot Day is inspired by Peter Reynolds’ classic children’s book, The Dot , which shows how making just one little mark can begin a journey of surprise and self-discovery. RIF is proud to support this initiative, and in the spirit of the occasion we’d like to share some fun ideas from the Dot Day Educator’s Handbook on how you can take part, in your classroom and beyond!
Make a Guest Dot Sign-In
Get a large sheet of paper on an easel next to a collection of markers and crayons. Make sure that everyone who comes in makes their own special dot on the paper, and encourage them to get creative!
