Circle Shape Book (and More Geometry Sites!)

I made this simple book to help my child learn geometry and circles:

To make the book:

1. Cut out a large circle and poke a hole through the center. (I used my Cricut Expression machine to cut the circle.)
2. Draw a diameter, a radius, and a chord on the circle.
3. Cut out three arrows and poke a hole through the center of the rectangle of each arrow.
4. Label one arrow “diameter”, another “radius”, and the last “chord”.
5. Place a brad through the center of the circle and arrows.
6. Ask children to point each arrow to the correct term on the circle.

Write a Letter to President Obama

My son is going to write a letter to President Obama using a formal letter format (ReadWriteThink: Letter Generator).

He will begin his letter introducing himself (and his age) and continue the letter by writing about one issue that is important to him. The letter will be written in cursive handwriting (very neatly) and will be edited by me before it is mailed.

We may never hear back from the White House, but wouldn’t it be thrilling for a child to receive some kind of response?
