International Dot Day

Hi all,

Have you heard of International Dot Day?  I never had, but it sounded cool, and when I watched the video of the book, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, I  just had to participate.  The theme is creativity, encouragement, and the power of a teacher.

So, I have listed all the links here for you to be able to participate in International Dot Day, which is taking place September 15 (and beyond).   Students and Teachers around the world will be connecting based on the theme - "make your mark and see where it takes you". 

Let me know if you would like to connect with Grade 2's in Thailand!  Just leave me a comment below or contact me on twitter @ innovatecreater.

Here is the main website...
