The children in K4B have shown interest in pizzas lately, creating pizzas using various construction materials and play-dough. They made ‘pizza’ crafts and talked about the ‘toppings’ on their ‘pizzas’. They also placed the ‘pizzas’ in ‘pizza boxes’ because you can call for delivery.
Upon learning about our interest, some children from K3A came and shared with us the ‘pizza’ that they made. The children started talking about the real pizzas that they made at home and a couple had gone home to make them, sharing with us photos of the cooking session. The children continued to show their interest in it and so we had a discussion about ‘pizza’ which brought up several interesting comments and questions, such as, “In Rome times, there is no pizza.”, “How can we make pizza?”, “Some pizzas are square, some pizzas are round”, and more. A couple of parents had brought in pizzas to share and read a book about the history of pizza with the children. We are looking forward to our field trip to a pizza restaurant where we will be making real pizzas!
