In Reinhard Early Childhood Center’s art classes, art teacher Michelle Block instructed students how to create monochromatic dots in honor of International Dot Day — which celebrates creativity and self-expression.
Bellmore students at Reinhard leave their ‘mark’ on Dot Day By JoRDAN VAlloNE jvallone@liherald.com
Students at Reinhard Early Childhood Center in the Bellmore School District celebrated International Dot Day last week — encouraging each of them to make a mark on the world, and make it a better place. The special day is a global event inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ children’s book, “The Dot.” The book tells the story of a young girl named Vashti, who, with encouragement from her teacher, begins her artistic journey by simply making a dot on paper. This single dot opens her up to a world of creativity and self-expression, showing that even small efforts can lead to meaningful growth and change.
The day encourages creativity, courage and collaboration, urging people of all ages to make their mark and embrace their unique talents. Schools, libraries and communities around the world participate in various activities like art projects, storytelling and group collaborations to celebrate creativity and self-expression. “The Dot” was published in 2003, and the celebration began as a grassroots movement in Iowa in 2009, when teacher Terry Shay introduced his students to Reynolds’ book and noticed its publishing date was Sept. 15. Shay and his students decided to celebrate the book’s birthday — launching a worldwide celebration that encourages all students to leave their mark on the world. Dot ContInuED on pagE 4
