Shapes

Because my four-year-old son missed preschool because of his cold, he received "homework" to complete. The homework consisted of gluing small-size paper triangles, circles, rectangles and other shapes on a piece of paper to create a person. The exercise teaches preschoolers how to recognize shapes. As an adult, I view this as a simple exercise. But I have to force myself to remember that these small steps form the foundation for future learning. Beginning basic lessons make possible the future development of a young person's potential.
