A warm up to the school year includes celebrating Dot Day. Based on the book by Peter H Reynolds, dot day encourages young artists to make their mark, encourage others, and trust in what your hands can achieve. As I read the story to our entire school, even the 8th graders, they all listened. As I explained the key principles in the book students understand that finding courage and encouraging others relates to passing on the acts of kindness and giving value to one another's achievements. Here are just a few of many talented work generated this past week. I am so excited to be working with a wonderful group of children.
