Celebrate 15 years of the Dot and 10 years of International Dot Day on 15th -ish September!
Celebrate International Dot Day on 15th-ish September!
International Dot Day, a global
celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration, began when teacher Terry
Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot
on September 15, 2009. Now, every 15-ish September, more than 10 million teachers,
librarians, and children in 170 countries participate in International Dot Day,
making their mark by getting busy with writing, drawing, painting, or other
creative outlets and sharing their Dot Day inspiration with others.
Join in the global celebrations on 15-ish September by hosting a
reading of The Dot, throwing a creative dot-making event, or planning a
weeklong series of activities — the possibilities are endless! To get started,
download the free International Dot Day pack from Walker Books packed with
simple
ideas to help you celebrate creativity in your classroom or library, and you
can also download a free International Dot Day event poster.
We can’t wait to hear about your International Dot Day event in your
classroom or library. Keep us updated by sharing any news, photos and art with
