[center]Shapes
By Sandy Kemsley
There are many shapes. A circle is round.
A triangle has three sides. A square
and a rectangle have four sides. Can you
draw a circle? Can you draw a triangle? How
many sides did you draw?
There are other shapes that are fun to learn
about. If a shape has five sides it is called a
pentagon.
There is a building in Washington D.C. that is
called the Pentagon because it has five sides. A
shape that has six sides is called a hexagon. This
is a little harder to draw.
There is another shape you probably see
every day. It has eight sides. It is an octagon.
Do you know what you see each day that is an
octagon? Right! It is a stop sign! Look around
your room. What shapes do you see?
