Display of all of the dots created in the library for Dot Day

Jack Elementary School celebrated International Dot Day with a school-wide literacy and art project that brought students together through creativity and self-expression. Students listened to The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, then created their own dots to contribute to a colorful project representing the whole school.

Inspired by the story’s message to make a mark and see where it leads, students took chances, shared their ideas, and expressed themselves in their own unique ways. The library was filled with excitement as every student added a personal touch. Together, their dots showed that creativity can begin with one small ideaβ€”and grow when we believe in ourselves.
