<><><><><Shapes all around us><><><><>
I am Cera Circle
Watch me turn round and round
And you will
learn
I'm not straight and I don't bend
My outside edges
never end!
Squire Square is my name
My four sides are just the
same
Turn me around, I don't care
I'm always the
same, I'm a
square!
I am Danny Diamond
I am like a
kite
But I'm really just a
square
Whose corners are
pulled tight
Ricky rectangle is my
name
My four sides are not the
same
Two are short and two
are long
Count my sides, come along ,
1-2-3-4!
I'm Tommy Triangle
Look at me
Count
my sides
There's 1-2-3!
Opal Oval is my name.
The circle and I are not the same.
The circle
is round, as round can be.
I am shaped like an egg as you
can see
Harry Heart is my name
The shape I make is my fame
With a
point on the bottom and
two humps on top
When it comes to
love I just can't stop!
I am Sarah Star
You can see
me twinkle from afar
My five points make me complete
When I'm brightly shining I can't be beat
Olly
Octagon is my name
The shape of a stop sign is the same.
My
eight sides are fun to count
How about you try it out!
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8!
Watch me turn round and round
And you will
learn
I'm not straight and I don't bend
My outside edges
never end!

SO, What are shapes then?
Shapes are the outlines of forms of objects. They are all around us.
Are there different kinds of shapes
Yes, there are different kinds of shapes. There are several kinds of shapes you will learn in school; this page
will provide you with the names of each one.
Circle
A circle is a round shape
Triangle
A shape with three sides. Sometimes the sides are equal—sometimes
they aren’t. Their names are sometimes different depending on the
length of the sides. We will tell you about the common ones:
Equilateral triangle—this triangle has 3 equal sides.
Isosceles triangle—this triangle has 2 equal sides.
Scalene triangle—this triangle has no equal sides.
Square
A square is a box shape, with four equal sides; The opposite sides are parallel.
Parallel means non-intersecting. For example, parallel lines
mean that if the two lines kept going forever, they would never cross over each other—they would always be an equal distance
apart.
Rectangle
This is another box shape, with two sets of equal sides. Equal sides are
opposite each other. The sides are parallel to each other. It’s drawn
like this:
Trapezoid
Another 4 sided shape, with one set of parallel lines (the other
set of lines is not parallel).
Pentagon
This is a shape with five sides.
Hexagon
This is a shape with six sides.
Heptagon
This is a shape with seven sides.
Octagon
This is a shape with eight sides. You’ll notice that the octagon is the shape they use for stop
signs.
Nonagon
This is a shape with nine sides.
Decagon
This is a shape with 10 sides.
Dodecagon
This is a shape with 12 sides.
And the list goes on.............................

see the world in a new light.....
From birth to the last flutter of flight, a butterfly’s journey is one of enlightenment, growth, and survival in which a once-flightless creature appreciates the beauty of long-distance travel. A butterfly’s journey and international education relate because they end with similar gains. A flightless butterfly symbolizes a student without an international education since neither travels far from home; a winged butterfly represents a student who has been abroad because each views the world in a fresh way. Like the flightless butterfly, we, too, should desire to flourish and see the world in new ways similar to a winged butterfly.
