Are you a fan of Peter H. Reynolds? If you aren’t sure who he is or about the great things that he and FableVision do for kids and learning, stop reading this right now and go visit his webpage. Seriously. Go!
If you are back, or just still here, then you know that Peter H. Reynolds and Fable Vision are responsible for some amazing kids’ literature that focuses on finding their own creativity, their own stars. He is also an advocate for educators and offers us wonderful resources, like his free, downloadable posters. One of my favorite books of Reynolds’ is The Dot, which has become so beloved around the world that it has become its own day!
Help your students find their own mark by celebrating International Dot Day on September 15, 2011. Read The Dot together as a class and find ways to have students make their own marks. Need some ideas for inspiration and activities? Check out Reynolds’ page for The Dot at his website. Start planning now! Be prepared to share your mark with other educators in September!

Hi Kelly, it’s Jill from EDM 310 again. I was to late this year to celebrate Dot Day, but I will definitely celebrate it next year! My niece actually owns the book The Dot and it is one of her favorite books too. I found it to be a great read as well and I can’t wait to share it with my future students. It is very important to inspire kids to find their creativity! Thanks for sharing about Dot Day and Mr. Reynolds.
