Plato's Story...

Plato, the famous Greek Philosopher, was an astounding character! Born in 427 B.C. in Athens, Greece, Plato always was thinking about politics.

Taught by Socrates (the greatest teacher ever), Plato was soon a symbol of Knowledge. He wrote many books and opened an academy in Athens where, among others, he taught Euclid and Aristotle.

Plato came up with a theory about forms. When you go to college, you will probably get an assignment to study Plato’s philosophy. For now, we can now confidently say that we have not a clue as to what it means.

In our story Plato is an annoying third grader who is always writing down thoughts in a small notebook. His best friend is Euclid who is constantly drawing circles. Plato thinks he is smarter than anyone in class, especially smarter than the girls.
