Austin ISD Kindergarten 2015 Kindergarten Pretend and Learn Lesson Unit: Neighborhood Pretend and Learn Theme: Pizza Shop Implementing the Pretend and Learn Lesson in the Kindergarten Classroom Center Introduction: This Setting Needs http://www.utexas.edu/cofa/dbi/content/setting-needs Ask students to sit in a circle and explain that the empty space in the middle will be our pizza shop. “Right now there is no furniture nor objects in our pizza shop. If you have an idea of something that is missing in this shop, please raise your hand.” Students become frozen images of the tables, chairs, boxes and other objects or people. After a few minutes, the first students may need to rest or shake out or get a substitute. When finished use the following questioning format: Describe: What did we just do? Analyze: How did we use clues to know what else was needed? Reflect: What ways could you use your bodies to make things that may be missing in the pizzeria in the Pretend and Learn Center? Center Participation and Organization: Students can call in orders for delivery or come wait for a table for service. Students can read the menu and tell their order to a server, who uses the order form below. After the students eat, the wait staff must give a receipt, found below. An additional writing opportunity would be to write a sequencing of what the students did at the “Pizzeria.” Cooks could write the steps in making a pizza and diners would write about their experience. Cover the furniture in butcher paper. Encourage students to help put a red and white or black and white pattern on the edges of the paper. Guide students through a model of how to organize the center. Pizza bases should be organized on a shelf and all ingredients should be in the refrigerator.
