Water Cycle
Circle Book
 Teacher’s Notes

Thank you for purchasing. I hope your students enjoy this activity. It will make a cute display and allows for an
educational activity in your classroom.

Some important information:

1.) I provided many different circles related to the water cycle. You can choose to use all of them or just some of
them.
2.) I left the water cycle terms open-ended to meet your class’ needs. This allows for you to use whichever terms
you have taught.
3.) Coloring can be a bit time consuming but creates a great visual. You may wish to have students take the
circle home to color ahead of time or work on it in class when they finish work early.
4.) None of the pages inform the students of how to assemble the circles because I wasn’t sure which circles you
would choose. Therefore, I’ll need you to inform the students of how to assemble the circle books. It’s relatively
quick and easy.

How to assemble it:

1.) Fold the pages you are using in half up and down (or hot dog style).

2.) Then on the back on one folded half, place glue. Place the back of another half on the half with glue. Make
sure that it is the next piece in the order desired. Line up the halves well.

3.) Continue doing this with all halves until you have no more left to glue down. Place a piece of yarn or string in
the binding folds. I always tape it to stay. See the picture below. Then you will place glue on the back of one of
the halves glued down and pull it toward the other side to complete the 3D circle.
