PIZZA!!!!!

This week we're exploring pizza making! Both yesterday and today the children worked to make individual pizzas. There was a strong since of pride in being able to prepare their own lunch and take it home. 

Step 1: Knead and shape your dough. 

Step 2: Bake the dough for a brief 5 minutes.
Step 3: Spread the tomato sauce. 

Step 4: Sprinkle the cheese.

Step 5: Add pepperoni.

Step 6: Cut peppers and add if desired.

Step 7: Bake for another 8 minutes.

Step 9: Take home to enjoy!

Some friends also drew their pizzas:

One of Gigi's pizza drawings. She used red and yellow to represent the tomato sauce and cheese.

Alexandra said, "It's a pretend pizza."
(notice the face detail) "It doesn't talk, we just eat it. It's hot!"

As Lane drew with a red colored pencil she noted, "I'm spreading the sauce all around." When she added  circles at the top she added, "Some pepperoni."
