Happy International Dot Day!

" On September 15, 2003, author and illustrator of children’s books, Peter H. Reynolds released his book “The Dot.” In the story, Vashti felt like she couldn’t draw — but her art teacher wouldn’t accept that. “Just make a mark, and see where it takes you,” the teacher said to Vashti. So, she marked her parchment paper with a small dot. The next day, Vashti was surprised to find her paper with the dot on the classroom wall. Vashti was so proud of her work that she started creating drawings with different kinds of dots.

Eventually, Vashti was able to pass the lesson about confidence that she had learned from her teacher onto someone else. A dot might be small, but it’s a powerful way to show your unique individuality and creativity. And that’s the story that inspired International Dot Day.

“The Dot” has inspired millions of children and adults. It is used by teachers as a method to encourage creativity and instill confidence in students. One teacher in Iowa, Terry Shay, introduced the book to his entire classroom on September 15, 2009. This led to the observance of International Dot Day every year on September 15. The flow of creativity and courage is celebrated by millions of teachers and students around the world. Such is the widespread influence of “The Dot” that it is currently celebrated in 192 countries by more than 19 million people! "

**DATE AND TIME CHANGE**

*PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH*

CALLING OUR CLASS OF 2020 TK/K GRADUATES!

We're DEVASTATED that we can't throw our usual Graduation celebration this year! BUT, that doesn't mean we can't celebrate at all!

We would love to have all our graduates join us for a DRIVE THRU Graduation!
WEDNESDAY JUNE 3, 2020 FROM 330 PM - 430 PM.

PROCEDURE:

In an effort to ensure everyone's safety and abide by social distancing guidelines we ask that all families & their students remain INSIDE a car throughout the duration of the "ceremony".

1. As you arrive, follow the designated arrows throughout the parking lot.

2. When you enter, the arrows will guide you to the meeting spot where you will stop your vehicle & meet up with Ms. Dori and Ms. Naz to receive your students' certificate!

3. If you feel comfortable, we will have a small area set up to have your student quickly step out of the vehicle and click a picture with us. If not, we completely understand! Ms. Dori and Ms. Naz would be happy to shoot a selfie with everyone from outside of the car!

4. After your stopover, please continue to follow the arrows to exit the parking lot.

We'd also like to request that each family limit themselves to arriving in ONE vehicle only. This is so that we are better able to control any traffic that might occur in the street.

Please feel free to dress up, decorate your car, and/or play some music!
However you'd like to celebrate!

We are SO EXCITED & CAN'T WAIT for Monday! We appreciate everyone's cooperation in helping our Drive Thru Graduation run smoothly!

Love,

Ms. Dori, Ms. Naz, & Ms. Vanny ❤️

**PLEASE READ**

Dear Parents,

In an effort to take extra precautions during this time- we'd like to inform you on some new guidelines we will be following for pick up and drop off.

We will have these signs and designated lines on the floor posted outside of our front door.

DROP OFF: Parents, please ring the doorbell and have your child stand at the red line closest to the door so that we may check their temperature and let them in. After that, we ask that you please return to the red line closest to the gate.

If you have a younger child and they must be carried, we completely understand! But, we appreciate if you could try to have them stand on the designated line if possible.

Parents with an infant, you may stand at the line closest to the door to have your temperature checked and thus enter the building to drop off your child. We ask that you please sanitize your hands with the sanitizer provided.

Please know that if you have an older sibling that you are dropping off as well, you may not enter their classroom. You may only enter the classroom that you are dropping off your infant in.

PICK UP: Please ring the doorbell and return to the red line closest to the gate. We will bring your child to you as usual.

We sincerely appreciate everyone's cooperation during these times. We are trying our best to take all the necessary precautions for your families and our staff.

Thank You! And we wish for everyone's safety and wellbeing. ❤️

Brookhaven Staff.
