In case you haven't heard by now, Ms. Street's class has been infatuated with pizza! They have found books, games, and songs about pizza and cannot get enough of it. Since their interest is deep, the children and Ms. Street turned the dramatic play area into a pizza restaurant. The children regularly talk about what their favorite toppings are (macaroni and cheese), where they like to eat their pizza (at home), and how much they can eat (a lot). As part of the learning process, the children learned how to make pizza dough. They measured the ingredients, mixed up the dough and watched it rise. The next day, they were able to cut fresh herbs into the dough and talked about how it felt. Some of us are hoping that pizza making is next!
