OCTOBER is National Pizza Month


The pizza book was a great way to integrate language arts ,nutrition, and geography. The cover was so much fun! I used black tag board so it would look like a restaurant menu board. Using the child's photo attached to a chef's hat and an apron, we had the pizza maker. A checked paper tablecloth and a hand tossed pizza completed the cover.





Contents of the book:

kidspiration describing pizza using the 5 senses, writing and drawing the steps of making a pizza, an original poem based on Jack Prelutsky's "I'm Making a Pizza as Big as the Sun." ( I'm making a pizza as gigantic as the moon, etc.) The poem was written on a slice of pizza. map of Italy, a paragraph about how pizza was first made, the Italian flag, a list of pizza ingredients sorted into food groups, a pizza glyph, and a drawing of their favorite pizza.
