Sleepy Shapes
Group the objects according to their shapes and open the story gate.
It was bedtime, but I wasn’t sleepy.
I turned left and then right, still couldn’t sleep.
My eyes were wide open.
I asked Eli, “Hey Eli, are you awake?”
Eli said, “Yes, Riri, I’m reading a book.”
I asked, “Eli, will you help me fall asleep?”
Eli smiled and nodded.
She showed me her book.
It had different shapes: a flat one, a pointy one, and a round one.
Eli closed her book.
She told me to close my eyes and imagine the shapes.
I imagined the flat one; it was a line.
I imagined the round one; it was a circle.
But, when I imagined the pointy one, I couldn’t remember its name.
This made me jump out of bed. I was sad.
I asked Eli, “Eli, I don’t remember its name, the pointy one!”
Eli giggled and said, “The pointy one is a triangle, Riri!
She added, “It has three corners and three sides.
Now, try to sleep again.”
She said, “This time,
imagine the triangle and count its corners and sides.”
I lay back down and imagined the pointy one again.
Now I knew its name; it was a triangle. I was happy.
I started to count its corners and sides; this made me feel sleepy.
I slowly started to lose my count, and then I was asleep.
I dreamed of triangles, circles, and lines.
Now I was ready for more shapes.
