Yavneh Early Childhood students and first graders joined more than 6.4 million people in 134 countries to mark International Dot Day, celebrating creativity, courage, and collaboration. The students read “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds and made incredible dots on the iPad using an augmented reality app called Quiver that brought the children’s dots alive! Dots were everywhere, making dots with their feet, dot necklaces, collaborative dot posters and even healthy dot fruit snacks.

First graders at Yavneh Skyped with students in Mrs. Simmon’s First Grade class in Texas. It was amazing for the children to share the celebration with a classroom in another state. Yavneh students hope to continue sharing with them in the future.

The students learned that if you love something, be courageous, try it and see where it takes you. International Dot Day took the children on a creative, lively journey. They will always remember the mark we made. Happy Dot Day!
