Monday Book Project







Loved this project. We read "Pete's A Pizza" by William Steig. It's about this boy who's sad because it's raining so he can't go outside. Well, his dad decides to make him happy by "making" him into a pizza. I let each of the boys play the part of Pete and we rolled and stretched and tickled their bodies. They had so much fun! Then we made our own pizzas. I let go of my control freak self and actually let Cooper go completely free on his pizza. I didn't tell him what a mess he was making, or there was too much cheese, or how to put the pepperoni's on. He totally handled this one on his own and he did a dang good job! I was really proud. They actually turned out tasting really good, also. I would totally recommend this project for any of you mom's out there!
