Building Writing Skills with Mat Man!

Help me give my students opportunities to develop essential pre-writing and rewriting skills with the support of Mat Man from Learning Without Tears!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gomes's classroom raised $378

My Project

Help my young learners develop essential pre-writing and rewriting skills with the support of Mat Man from Learning Without Tears! My students are eager writers and would benefit greatly from practicing the fine motor and spatial awareness skills needed for successful handwriting.

This engaging, hands-on resource will empower them to understand body awareness, spatial concepts, and letter formation—all key foundations for strong writing skills.

We’re excited to start our journey with Mat Man and grow into confident authors by the end of the year! With your support, we can turn big dreams into real writing success!
