Pizza



















Today we made pizza as our Friday cooking project! We first helped our friend Nick mix up his gluten/casein free crust. We had to crack a few eggs and add some oil and milk....all of which we managed to do with out much of a mess! However, I am all for a mess during our cooking projects. I figure its a GREAT opportunity to learn from it and figure out what to do when we do make a mess. And, I've got some great little "cleaner up-ers" in my classroom! :) We may be able to see in the picture of our pizzas that we had to improvise a little on our cheese. It turned out we didn't have any shredded cheese so we improvised with string cheese...and it was really yummy! :)

Friendship Day Party

Monday February 8th will be our Friendship Day Party. We will be doing fun activities through out the day. For this party, I'm going to invite parents/family members to join us for an hour at either 9:30 am or 1:30pm, which ever time works best for you! We will have an art project, fun activity and friendship snack planned at one or both of those times. Parents, I ask that you email or write a note in your child's notebook if you plan to attend and which time so we know who to expect!

For our party, I am asking for a few donations. If you are able and would like to donate any of these items, please let me know and I'll send home a note the middle of next week with who is sending each item.
