Lesson Topic
Pete the Cat and The Perfect Pizza Party: fractions, collage, and shapes.
Lesson Outline
Project Initiating Activity:
After reading the book Pete the Cat and The Perfect Pizza Party to Emilia, we talked about and learned the following terms: fractions: whole, half, and quarters; geometric shapes: circles, and collage: to cut, paste, and overlap. Inspired by the book, we discussed our favorite pizza toppings and thought of silly toppings for pizza as seen in the book.
Book Reference:
Dean, K. & Dean, J. (2019). Pete the cat and the perfect pizza party. HarperCollins Children’s Book.
1. Emilia learned about pizza fractions: whole, halves, and quarters. We played with a wooden pizza manipulative toy to talk about and visualize the whole and its parts. We did some pizza math by adding and subtracting pieces of pizza. She completed some coloring and cutting activities to practice pizza fractions: whole, halves, and quarters.
2. Emilia created her own artwork inspired by the book using paint and cut out felt to make a collage pizza.
3. Emilia also wanted to make a cookie pizza using paint and glitter.
4. Inspired by the book, we listened to and sang songs about pizza:
a. The Kiboomers On Top of My Pizza
b. Lankybox The Pizza Song
c. Parry Gripp Pizza Puppy
Emilia worked hard today and did excellent work!
