AFC MAGNOLIA PM

Today was Mr. Henry's last day! He has been with us since the beginning of the school year from De Smet. Every Monday afternoon he would join us for his volunteer hours. He is a kind guy who always jumped in to help with whatever was needed, play with everyone, and always bring a smile.  We celebrated him with a special book and a popsicle!  We wish you well!!!

Today we went for a trek back to Deweys to give our thank you letter to Mr. JP! We wrote it last week and we added a picture of our pizza collage art for him to enjoy.  LG had something extra special, a book of her and JP making a pizza.  On our way back to school, we made a slight detour to visit a new chicken place. She brought out her new baby chicks for us to see! She gave us a lot of great information all about chickens and how they grow. 

The time finally came... it was DEWEY'S DAY!!! We had been getting ready for weeks for this adventure. We've made our own pizzas in many different ways: drawing, sculpting, pretending, building, and writing.  We got ready to go!  We got a perfect viewing point, and began to watch a process we were so familiar with. A huge thank you to the amazing staff at Dewey's in Webster Groves. They were so excited for us to come and made us feel so special!   THE DOUGH THE SAUCE & CHEESE SOME SILLY STUFF IN BETWEEN IT WAS READY THEN, WE ATE

We set up a provocation for children outside to explore a mud kitchen! We brought one of our tables outside and added pots, pans, trays, utensils, and weeds. 

We watched a video about a couple that made the biggest pizza by hand in the mountains!  It played while our kitchen was open in hopes of some inspiration.  Well they were all drawn in.  We learned about how to make the sauce and dough.  I think this may be a future snack for Magnolia!   Lennon created a menu to order from in the kitchen. We also enjoyed this beautiful day with  some hide and seek.
