I Can Write My ABCs! Early Letter Shape Skills: Pre K Learning With Ms. Liz
Class experience
In this one time class we will work with Mat Man, (a Handwriting without Tears program) or "Mat Mate", to practice important writing readiness skills that include size recognition, placement and basic lines and curves that can help make writing letters easier to learn.

Learners will practice Pre-K concepts such as recognizing letter names and drawing letter lines and shapes that can help develop strong drawing and cognitive skills. We will listen to the Mat Man song and work on listening and observation skills while learners are encouraged to follow directions and concentrate on making lines and shapes that are important to writing development when we create our own Mat Mate using lines and curves on the provided Mat Mate outline. ** Learners can create their Mat Mate free hand or with the included Mat Mate tracing page (depending on your learner's hand strength and previous writing experience). **In order to promote class discussions and participation I do not mute learners' microphones. This also helps learners practice their social skills such as active listening and taking turns. In order for this to work, students need to be in a quiet setting away from background noises (loud conversations, telephone calls, t.v, etc.). **
Because of the age of the class I recommend a grown up be within "ear-shot" to help with any technical hiccups (mic and video) that might come up. Please bring writing tools to class! **In order to promote class discussions and participation I do not mute learners' microphones.
