Thank you for posting more information and websites about Dot Day. Before this course, I had no idea Dot Day even existed! I found the Educator Handbook really helpful and I shared it with a few of the teachers at my school. I read Reynolds' book to my class today and shared a few websites with them. They were AMAZED at how many countries and students were involved with International Dot Day! They were also excited because our library copy of the book is autographed by Peter! My favorite part of today was hearing my class talk about how they are going to leave their mark on the world and how they will try their best even when things feel challenging. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us and for helping us connect with teachers outside of our zip codes!
