After a long weekend away from school, the students returned with lots of stories about what they did on the weekend. On Tuesday, we used MATMAN to first draw ourselves and then we used shapes to try and add details to our picture about what we did.
First, we shared a "Minute to Mingle" with our peers where we told them what we did on the weekend.
Next, we used our MATMAN checklist to draw us and then tried adding details using shapes.
Our writing:
Jasneet shared, "I play with my little sister, I'm at home."
Momna shared, "I went to the swimming pool."
At home, you can practice early literacy skills by having your child draw a picture of something fun or exciting they did at home, at the park or with friends/family. First, encourage them to draw themselves using MAT MAN. Next, have them try and add some details by using their shapes. Have fun writing at home!
