We take a walk after school and look for shapes. Windows on the bakery are neat rectangles. The clock in the barbershop is a round circle that ticks softly. The roof of the little house at the corner makes a sharp triangle. Even the tiles on the sidewalk show squares in a row. When we look closely, our street becomes a puzzle made of shapes that fit together.

Traffic Signs and Shapes
On the road, signs use shapes to send quick messages. A stop sign is an octagon with eight sides that tells us to halt. A yield sign is a triangle that reminds us to slow down and look. A round sign near the school warns drivers to be careful. Learning these shapes helps us stay safe when we cross the street with our grown-ups.

Playground Shapes
The playground is full of shapes that help us move. The hoops are big circles that we can toss and catch. The climbing frame has squares we can step through. The slide makes a long rectangle we can sit on. Even the swing chains form thin lines that hold the seat. When we name the shapes, we notice how each one has a job that makes play more fun and safe.
