What a great week we had finishing up our pizza unit! Activities included counting, recognizing letters and numbers, comparing numbers, patterning, positional concepts, recognizing the word PIZZA, deciding which items began with the letter P, sequencing, answering questions, working on shapes, following a recipe card by counting ingredients, making decisions on our own, taking turns, respectful behavior, following 2 step directions, drawing in our journals, playing a pizza balance game, painting with pizza utensils, making a pizza restaurant by cutting out pizza logos and making a self portrait, and of course, making and eating pizza!! That was a fan favorite! In addition, we played with real pizza dough using pizza cutters, scissors, rollers, flour and toppings.

Reminder
Thursday, May 21st -Field Day at school, please put sunscreen and bug spray on our child before school.
Tuesday, May 26th -Party at the park! 9:30-11:00 or however long you'd like to stay!
We will meet at Hunter Park/Crystal Lake Park at 2301 Putter Lane at 9:30. We will not be at LECC beforehand. An adult must stay with your child for the entire duration of our party. I found out there is a water pad there, so your child can wear a swim suit under their clothes or bring one to change into. We are not sure if it will be turned on and running when we arrive. Make sure your child uses the bathroom before you come to the park because there are no bathrooms.
Wednesday, May 27th -This will be our rain date if we have to cancel Tuesday's day at the park. If not, Wednesday will be a regular school day.
