I like 3D shapes. They are so cool. I like dodecahedrons and every 3D shape. Some roll and some don't. Some have curved sides. Some have flat sides. It can have flat sides and curved sides like a cylinder.
Hi Nolan, What amazing comment! Yes, it is fascinating when you start to realize the shapes that are around us, when you start to count the number of sides and vertices, if a shape can roll or slide :) My favorite shapes are a sphere and a cone. Can you guess why?
I am very impressed with what you are learning in first grade and with your thoughtful post!
You used the word dodecahedron in your post. I was not familiar with that word so I looked it up. I found a very interesting website that explained what a dodecahedron is and even showed one spinning: http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/dodecahedron.html
I can now see why you like it so much. Thank you for teaching me something new today!
Can you give me an example of another 3D shape that you like?

Dear Grandma, The other 3D shapes I like are all of them. The ones that roll and the ones that do the other stuff. l love you so much. From, Nolan
Mrs. Levy, I think you like a cone and a sphere because they make an ice cream. Yum! I like ice cream, too. My favorite is every ice cream. From, Nolan
I love you, too, and miss you every day! I have an idea. The next time you come to Wisconsin, let's go the ice cream parlor by Blue Harbor and enjoy the two shapes Mrs. Levy likes best!
