Making Pizzas With The Little Red Hen

Today was the last day of our cooking unit. Last week we read about the Little Red Hen. This week we read The Little Red Hen Makes A Pizza. Each child got to make his/her own pizza. We didn't use quite as many ingredients as the Little Red Hen did but it was fun, none the less. The story was very similar to the traditional story of the Little Red Hen but in the end, the Little Red Hen shares her pizza and the Cat, Dog, and Duck help her clean up in the end. The kids and I really liked this ending the best.
We graphed our favorite pizza toppings. The children were curious to see which toppings came ended up on top with the most votes. Pepperoni and cheese was won out! Along with adding and graphing, we also worked on counting by fives and we reviewed more calendar concepts.
We'll begin our art unit next week, a study that will take us through the month of May. Yes, this is our last unit of study. Can you believe it? I certainly can't. We will kick off the month of April with a pajama party, movie, and an egg hunt. The next two months are going to be filled with lots of fun and creative activities, which I am looking forward to.
