1) Hook - A Fun Story 📚
One sunny day in India, little Anaya went to her grandmother's house. Grandma was making a beautiful rangoli on the floor.

2) Core Concepts - What Are Shapes? 🔺🔵⬛
Shapes are the forms of objects all around us. They can be flat or solid. Let's learn about some common flat shapes:

| Rectangle ▭ | 4 sides (2 long, 2 short) | Door of a house |
All these shapes help us see and understand the world better. Can you spot these shapes at your home or school?
