International Dot Day



For the first time ever, Club Boulevard participated in International Dot Day today. The day is a global celebration of creativity, courage, and collaboration. It is based on Peter H. Reynolds' book The Dot. On this day, students all around the world are given the chance to show their creativity and think about how they can make a difference in the lives of others.
Mrs. Butler, our fabulous Art teacher, introduced this book to all students during the first week of Art class this year.

Each student in grades K-5 created a dot in the style of an artist. The list of grade levels and corresponding artists is below:
Kindergarten and K/1 - Mondrian
1st grade - Matisse
2nd grade - Miro
3rd grade - O'Keefe
4th grade - Seurat
5th grade - Picasso
While all teachers read aloud and discussed the story today, some classes went a little further with special Dot Day curriculum integrated activities. Check out the creative fun below!
We can't wait to celebrate International Dot Day again next year!
