Mrs. Albertsons class read, "The Little Red Hen Makes A Pizza" and then made their own pizzas.
The children had to follow the recipe cards and assign each student a job to help prepare the pizzas. Fortunately, unlike Little Red Hens friends they all wanted to help,
The students became very excited when they could smell the pizza cooking! We learned alot about team work and the importance of each indivdual as we created a yummy product for all.
Mrs. Doyle's project is coming to life! Stay tuned to see where the caring rocks will end up.
