Lesson: Sharing: By the end of the lesson, students should be able to: Describe how to share and apply their knowledge of sharing to be able to share in real-life situations.
Your Destination: In this activity, you are going to create and decorate your own paper pizza that you can share with your friends. By sharing what you have, whether it’s money, food, or toys, people will see that they can trust you and will be willing to help you when you need it.
Travel Kit: Red and brown construction paper, scissors, markers/ colored pencils, additional colored paper for pizza toppings, glue or tape, a ruler
On the Path
Step 1: Cut a big circle out of the brown construction paper. You can trace something circular to make it easier.
Step 2: Cut a smaller circle out of the red paper. It should be about an inch smaller in diameter. When you place the red circle on top, the brown paper should show along the edge like a pizza crust. Glue or tape them together. Make sure the red circle is centered on top of the brown circle
Step 3: Now you can cut out your toppings. Think about what you like on your pizza or what your friends and family like. You can also draw your toppings with markers. Some examples are pepperoni, olives, bell pepper, cheese, sausage, and pineapple)
Step 4: Glue or tape down the toppings.
Step 5: Now you are going to cut your pizza into slices. Take your pencil and ruler and draw a line down the center vertically and horizontally so you have 4 sections. Now you can draw a line in between those first 2 so that you have 8 slices.
Step 6: Take your scissors and cut on the lines you drew.
Step 7: Now you should have 8 separate slices of pizza. Practice sharing by giving the slices of pizza to your classmates, friends, or family.
