Hello friends, my name is Olivia and I am 8 years old. I 

absolutely love animals and my favorite activity is playing 

outside with my friends Kylynn and Trinity. I really enjoy 

learning in Ms. Smith's class, but I also love summer 

vacation! Every year my family spends the summer in 

Sister Shapes, Michigan!

Sister Shapes are known for many things, in particular, the 

many shapes around the area! Everyday I'm here I see 

circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, and trapezoids! I did 

not know much about these shapes until I began 

vacationing here and I would love to share with you all 

that I see and I have learned 

For starters, my head is shaped like a circle, 

and so is the first letter of my name! My 

family drives to Michigan in our rectangle 

car, which has 4 circular wheels.  

The first thing I see when I arrive is my summer home. 

My summer home is made up of 3 shapes: a square body, 

rectangle windows, and a triangle roof. That's 3 different 

shapes making 1 great house!

My summer sail boat has a triangle sail!

But where do I use my sailboat? Oh, of course! I 

use it on my lake. The lake is called round lake, so I 

think you can guess what shape it is...

I have a rectangular pier leading into the lake from the 

beach. At the end of it there is a slide that my brothers and 

I made a few summers ago! As you can see, it is shaped 

differently than the shapes we have seen so far and it is 

called a trapezoid!

When my brothers and I are on our best behavior my 

mother takes us to our favorite ice cream shop, 

Driftwood! Driftwood has a rectangle body and a 

triangle roof. The triangle roof here looks different 

than the one on my house, doesn't it? I learned that 

this is because there are different types of triangles 

and they look different from each other!

When I am lucky enough to go to Driftwood, I get an ice 

cream cone with my 2 favorite flavors: mint chocolate chip 

and strawberry! The two scoops are shaped like circles and 

the cone is a triangle!

As you can see there are shapes all 

over here, but now I think I should 

explain to you some facts about the 

shapes we have seen today! I will 

begin with circles and triangles.

A circle is a round shape that looks 

like the letter O, like in Olivia! 

Every point on the edge of the 

circle is the same distance to the 

center. A circle is only one curved 

line. 

Triangles can be a bit more confusing 

because there are a few different 

types. However, some things that all 

triangles have in common are that 

they all have 3 sides, 3 angles, and 3 

vertices, also known as the corners of 

a triangle.
