Miss Saraceni: Good morning class, today we are going to talk about all of the different shapes that we have learned about so far this year. Can anyone raise their hand and tell me the name of a shape that we have learned?

Billy: A circle.Aly: A rectangle.Michael: A square.Caitlin: A triangle.

Miss Saraceni: Very good, you have mentioned the shapes that we have learned about this year. Who can tell me something about a circle?

Michael: It is round and has no sides.

Miss Saraceni: Michael you are correct. Caitlin, can you tell me something about rectangles?

Caitlin: Rectangles have four sides. Two sides are shorter in length and are equal. The two longer sides are also equal to each other.

Miss Saraceni: That is a perfect explanation of a rectangle. Billy, can you tell me something about triangles?

Billy: Triangles have three sides. The sides can be equal sometimes, but not always.

Miss Saraceni: That is also a good explanation. Aly, can you tell me something about a square.

Aly: Squares have four sides and each side is equal to the other sides.

Miss Saraceni: Can anyone tell me where we can find these shapes?

Michael: We draw them on paper, or the white board. And sometimes we see them on the flash cards that we use.

Miss Saraceni: Michael, you are correct, but there are also different places where we can find shapes.

Aly: But where Miss Saraceni?

Miss Saraceni: Well Aly, we can begin by looking around our classroom. Can you find an object that is in the shape of a circle?

Aly: Hmmm, what about the clock?

Miss Saraceni: Excellent, the clock is in fact a circle. Who can find me an object in the shape of a rectangle?

Billy: The table is a rectangle Miss Saraceni.

Miss Saraceni: You are correct Billy, the table is a rectangle.

Michael: Miss Saraceni, isn’t this book a rectangle also?

Miss Saraceni: Yes Michael, the book is also in the shape of a rectangle. What about a square?

Joey: The carpet we are sitting on is a square.

Caitlin: The map is a square.

Aly: The cubbies are also square shaped!

Miss Saraceni: But you can also find these objects at home, on the playground, in the store and many other places. Can anyone tell me objects at home that are either a circle, rectangle, square or triangle?

Billy: A teepee is a triangle.

Aly: The sun and moon are circles.

Caitlin: Doors are rectangles.

Joey: We play the triangle instrument in music class!

Michael: Construction signs are triangles.

Billy: Picture frames come in all different shapes! Some are rectangles, squares, or even circles!

Aly: The top of my house is a triangle!

Miss Saraceni: Very good class! You have come up with a very good list of objects that are different shapes! Class, can you now all tell me where we can find different shapes?

Class: EVERYWHERE!

Miss Saraceni: Excellent, now you all know that shapes are not just found on paper, they surround us all the time!
