Students "Make their Mark" with The Dot

September 15 is International Dot Day. Are you ready?

In the spirit of creativity and innovation and just plain fun, one of our favourite authors is getting globally connected with International Dot Day.

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.

An annual event, students all over the world are "making their mark." Find resources here. The video below, a "motion piece" by Pat Malley, was inspired by the book by Peter H. Reynolds.
