Pizza, November 4th and 5th, 2009

Begin by singing Raffi’s “Shake My Sillies Out.”

Book: Hi, Pizza Man! by Virginia Walter.

Poem: Weird Pizza by Paul Musser. We made a wooden pizza with all of the toppings which can be used along with this poem.

Book: Pizza Pat by Rita Gelman.

Song: Silly Pizza Song from the compact disc, Signing Time!: Songs. Volumes 1 – 3. We made pictures of all the pizza toppings which can be used on a magnetic chalkboard. Also, consider using the actual signs for each of the toppings while singing the song.

Story: Hello, My Name is Joe

Book: Pizza by Phyllis Root; illustrated by James Croft. We have pictures which can be used on a magnetic chalkboard, in place of the actual book.

Book: Pete’s a Pizza by William Steig. We used my boy puppet with the movable hands and told the parents they could do the same with their kids.

Activity: We made a giant pizza using the parachute! While the kids played with the “pizza dough” (the parachute), we added various toppings (paper cut-outs): red pepperonis, black olives, blue anchovies, green peppers, gray mushrooms, yellow pineapple wedges, and lots of mozzarella cheese strips. The whole while we listened to Dean Martin’s That’s Amore. This was a really fun activity!
