Read to Someone and Mat Man


Today the kids learned how to use our handwriting blocks to make "Mat Man."  Mat Man is helping us become familiar with big and little lines as well as big and little curves.  We will be using these concepts as we start writing our letters.  Then we tried our next component of the Daily Five, Read to Someone.  The kids all partnered up and read Elbow to Elbow and Knee to Knee for three minutes.  They loved the opportunity to share their books.  We will continue to add minutes to Read to Someone as the kids build their stamina.  There is a lot of brain power in this classroom!
