Learning Geometrical Shapes

Life is funny, don't you think?
Everyday something new!!!!!!!!
Some days I fall on my head!!!
Always thinking, am I dead????
I'm so happy when I'm not!!!!!!!!!!
Another funny day I've really fought.
.


This is a good poem for kids who are learning the different geometrical shapes. If you indent each line by a few letters,you'll have a parallelogram. See if your kids can do something like this.

The formatting can be frustrating, when it doesn't upload as you intended it to do. However, this is a wonderful poetic structure for inspiring and instructing young writers!

Miss "H" if you write in in word processor and copy it, then when you publish it look where the clipboard is with the "T" on it and it will allow you to paste your copied material just as you wrote it ..... I think ...... lol

I can visualize it, and I bet you tried to type it out in a parallelogram shape, but the AC engines (or whatever controls the on-screen text) wouldn't let you.

I'm sorry, I can't visualize how this would look.
