After getting back from vacation it was hard to start up, but when we were settled we started working with compass. The kind of compass i’m talking about is one that architects and graphic artists use. We use them to make circles and even to copy a line segment. Let me explain how to use on. A compass has on sharp point and a pencil. What you do is put the sharp point on the paper and make sure that it does not move. Then you turn the compass so the pencil part is moving not the sharp point and make a circle. You can also turn the paper around so you make a circle. I prefer tyning the paper[leave me a commet telling me how you make a circle with a compass]. So after we read a page in our student reference book about how to use it we exparemented with the compass. We made good and some of us made concentric circles[they look like a bulsie or circles that have the same center].  After that we did a journal page in which we had to copy a line segment only using a compass. Then we read until the class was over. It was a fun class.

    This is a compass.                     These are concentric circles.
