1. Impromptu pizza unit in Mrs. OGradys preschool class.
2. The students in my class had been talking a lot about pizza.
So, we started putting a variety of pizza books out for silent
reading and we read a few aloud such as Petes A Pizza and Sallys
Pizza.
3. During center time we made giant pizzas in our shaving
cream:
4. and we made our own personal pizzas out of play doh:
5. Next we set up our own mini pizza place in our classroom and
voted on the name Party Pizza. Our little pizza shop became a
center for four students at a time where two students are the pizza
makers and two students are the customers. The pizza shop was equip
with two aprons, two chef hats, menus (made by the students), order
pads, real pizza boxes, felt pizzas, and final product pizzas.
6. Pizza makers put together their own pizzas using felt, put
the felt pizzas into the oven, then served their customers:
7. The impromptu pizza unit continued when one of our students
mothers ordered us a pizza!
8. We finished our pizza unit by learning a pizza song called I
am a pizza (playing now) , making pizza hats, and recording the
class singing the pizza song.
