Mat Man

This year we have been using our friend, Mat Man, to teach us all about the different parts we can include when we are drawing people: head, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, body, arms, hands, legs, and feet.  Mat Man also helps to familiarize us with the different types of lines we use when we are forming our uppercase letters: big line, little line, big curve, little curve. 

You can find out the pieces used to form each letter using the following document:

We have started by learning the "Frog Jump" letters: F, E, D, P, B, R, N, and M.  We have practiced them in lots of fun ways!
