Pizza Party!

 P is for Pizza!  We finished up our two week theme with our Taylor Academy Pizza Parlor!  As the last day activity we make a class pizza.  It was a lot of fun!  Each child was given a triangle and a brown paper bag that they covered the triangle up and then decorated.  Our class was trying for perfect attendance and was in competition to win a pizza party.  (We were not even close on this as they counted tardiness!)   Although we did not win, we made this cool class pizza and talked about things people order and then focused on the shapes.  As you can see in the picture below, it was messy and fun.  We are still working to get everyone using glue sticks appropriately!  Our students were digging and dumping toppings out everywhere trying to get just what they needed for their piece on our group pizza.  The best part of the day was watching them search for their piece when they went home.  We placed the pieces in a real pizza box and on this silver pizza pan.  One parent wanted to know when the real party was and I had to let her know we did not win.  So to our surprise  she said she would bring all the kids pizza to go along with our project!  They are going to get really excited when I tell them tomorrow!
