Mat Man (Handwriting Without Tears) teaches children to draw and develop body awareness. Our class has been singing the Mat Man song, and building Mat Man at the gathering rug during whole group and small group activities. We read the "Mat Man Shapes" book, where Mat Man has various shapes for his body, such as a triangle, heart, star, crescent, square, diamond, and oval. To build Mat Man, we need our wooden pieces including big lines, little lines, big curves, and little curves. We also need eyes, nose, hands, and a shape for his body! Students drew pictures of Mat Man, and then drew self portraits during art enrichment with Mrs. Sweet!
