The gratitude jar became a meaningful reminder that small words of thanks can make a big difference in our school community.

  The Lithuanian team joyfully took part in the celebration of International Dot Day. To begin, the students watched the inspiring short film “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds, which encouraged them to believe in their creativity and to express themselves without fear. After the video, they shared their thoughts and impressions about the message of the story and discussed why this day is celebrated around the world. To mark the occasion, the students created their own colorful dots and brought them to life using the augmented reality app Quiver. The moment when the drawings transformed into 3D animated creations was truly exciting and filled the classroom with surprise and joy. It was a wonderful experience that combined creativity, art, and modern technology, leaving students inspired to keep exploring their talents.
