During the month of February, we will be learning about the community we live in. We will also talk about community helpers and the tools they use to do their jobs. As we explore this topic, we will be answering the following essential questions:

• What is a community?
• Where do I live?
• How do community helpers help me?
• Who are the community helpers that live and work in my community?

This week, our classroom turned into a busy pizzeria with many chefs perfecting the art of making English muffin pizzas.

 

 

 

 

This was our first experience with cooking in our classroom this year. Everyone loved it so much, so we will be sure to put our chef skills to the test again! Cooking with your children is a great way to experiment with tasting new foods...if they have helped prepare a meal, they are more likely to try a bite. Measuring, number recognition and counting are also incorporated into cooking...a great way to sneak in some math!
