| Little Circles, Big Writers |
Today my kindergarten niece came home beaming, paper in hand, eager to show us her masterpiece. Not a rainbow, not a flower—this time it was people. But not just stick people. She proudly explained how her teacher is teaching them to draw people using shapes: circles for heads, rectangles for bodies, triangles for dresses, and ovals for arms and legs.
It’s more than just art—it’s the foundation for writing. By breaking down the world into shapes, she’s strengthening her grip, training her eyes, and preparing her brain for letters and words. Each shape she adds is one step closer to building the confidence she’ll need when sentences become stories.
Watching her, I realized: sometimes the building blocks of learning aren’t ABCs or 123s, but simple circles and squares that turn into characters ready to walk off the page.
