“Hi! Pizza Man” Kindergarten Literature Unit in Action

Hi Pizza Man Kindergarten Literature Unit Study in Action



Recently we shared about our new  Kindergarten Literature Units and our first set of printables for “Hi! Pizza Man!” We completed this unit in our home and today we want to share our fun with you!  This unit ended up being more fun than I realized it would be, she absolutely loved it!  I am so thankful God led my heart in this direction for her! Our Hi! Pizza Man Kindergarten Literature Unit was a blast!


I love setting up a central area for our theme focus and my daughter loves it too.  I gather our toys and books together and display them the night before we begin our unit. It helps to draw her in and get her excited about our learning time together. I borrow books from the library and also toys from friends to enrich our learning. I gather toys from around the house too {well, actually I send my older boys on a hunt to find things for me}.  You can see some suggestions for what to gather, borrow or buy for this unit here!

The full set-up…

I divided up our activities into 5 hanging folders, they are behind our You Can Read unit in this basket. I follow a very loose lesson plan and shift things around as needed or desired. I do not stress out at all about what does or does not get done each day.  We just have fun together and learn as we go!

You Can Read -7717

 

I tried something new by taking small video clips for you throughout our unit.  Let me know if these are helpful to you.  After speaking and meeting readers at the Teach Them Diligently Conventions I began thinking of more ways I could help people and videos came to my mind.

We spread this unit over 2 1/2 weeks, for 6 days total.  We are in a lighter school mode right now so I was in no rush. I divided this post into days so you could see what we did on each day.


Day One

The set up drew her right in and she loved it!  She was playing and reading her books within seconds!

Hi Pizza Man Day -7721

After I let her explore on her own for awhile, we read the book together.  We pulled out the animals we have and added them to the story!

Hi Pizza Man Day -7725

 

We worked on the 3 part animal cards next, in our small pocket chart!

Pizza patterns were a hit, she is very into patterns right now!

Hi Pizza Man Day -7736

 

She loved the pizza sticker book I got for her.  One side is hers and one is mine.  Can you guess who the picky one is?

Hi Pizza Man Day -7741

 

 

Cutting out pictures and gluing the words that begin with P onto the pizza.

Hi Pizza Man Day -7747

Hi Pizza Man Day -7749

Here she is reading her completed Letter P words…

 

She loved the Kind Words ~ Rude Words activity a lot.  She has struggled with using polite words with people in the past but is much better now.

Hi Pizza Man Day -7751

Here’s a small video clip of us doing this activity.


Day Two

Our day began with her entering the schoolroom after fixing her own hair.  I asked if she wanted help with her headband and of course the answer was no. I’m kinda glad she said no, I like this look on her.

Hi Pizza Man -7807

She came in and began playing with her pizza stuff, pretending to eat it and bringing me pizza of course.

Hi Pizza Man -7810

 

We read the story together and then did our story sequencing activity, which she LOVED!

Hi Pizza Man -7817

Here’s a video of us doing this activity together,  You’ll notice in it she asks me if we can tape it together,  I had not planned on that but followed her lead!  You can see the finished product below in a photo!

Hi Pizza Man -7818

 

She turned the Make a Pizza craft into a big ordeal.  She divided it up into 4 parts and let all of us choose what we wanted on our piece.  We wrote our initial on what we ordered and she got busy.

Day Three

Day 3 began with reading the book again, but this time she read it to me!  After the first two pages she said she wanted to read it herself!

Hi Pizza Man -7872

After reading we just played pizza together.  The puppies came to the pizzeria and chose their toppings.

Hi Pizza Man -7875

 

We used the whole, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 parts from our pizza fraction game.

Hi Pizza Man -7877

 

Rhyming words…

Hi Pizza Man -7879

Here’s a video clip of us working on rhyming words…

 

We talked again about the character connection and how it related to this Bible verse.  We focused on using gentle words with others and role played a bit with this.  Then she illustrated the verse and wrote the word gentle.

Hi Pizza Man -7884

Here’s her final version…

Hi Pizza Man -8261

 

We got back out our graph from day 2 and recorded the results.  She wrote all of the numbers by herself!

Hi Pizza Man -7887

 

We also got out our pizza patterns from day 1 and glued a pattern down onto the long strip.

Hi Pizza Man -7894


Day Four

{this is week 2 of this unit, we did 3 days the first week}

We took advantage of beautiful weather and packed our school bags and headed up to our second story deck for a couple of hours one morning. My oldest son was there and so was my camera and he captured these shots of Ladybug and me reading together.

Hi Pizza Man -8060

Hi Pizza Man -8063

 

She made another pizza {she really likes cutting, gluing and pizza crafts}.

Hi Pizza Man -8069

 

We did our comprehension questions up on the deck.  She chose the questions out of the bag and I read them to her.

Hi Pizza Man -8092

Here’s a video of her answering the last one she pulled out.

 


Day Five

{this is week 3 of our unit, we traveled over the end of week 2 so finished up the following week}

We matched animals to their names and sounds…

Hi Pizza Man -8238

 

She called people and asked everyone in our house what their favorite pizza topping was for her graph.  She really enjoyed this and got to practice her phone skills too.  She even called Miss Yo {Jolanthe from Homeschool Creations}.

Hi Pizza Man -8240

Here’s a video of her calling to ask my mom…

 

She wrote about her favorite animal in the story, with me spelling for her this time.

Hi Pizza Man -8246

What would a pizza unit be without making PIZZA?  She made us all lunch and was so very excited about it!

Hi Pizza Man -8194 Hi Pizza Man -8197

A little reading while it cooked…

Day 6

We were technically done with our unit but she wanted to color pizzas, so I scaled down our Pizza coloring printables and made her a coloring book!

Hi Pizza Man -8275

Hi Pizza Man -8281

 

All of our work from this unit!  She had so much fun and we made great memories together!

I’m not very active on this account anymore mostly because my older kids don’t like to be photographed. I am passionate about fostering kittens and my foster kitten account @crazy_foster_kitten_lady is where I spend most of my Instagram time now.

I’ll share here every now and then, but I’m on the kitten account daily!

It was a Christmas filled with many emotions. Joy, It was a Christmas filled with many emotions. Joy, happiness, excitement, surprise, sadness, longing, and a bit of emptiness. 

We celebrated with my parents on the 24th, and that was a very joyous celebration. We enjoyed church, gifts, food, and mostly one another. 

On the 25th we celebrated with my husband’s family and sadly we are missing our beloved Nana who went to be with Jesus a few weeks ago. We all did our best to honor her love for fun last night. We played games, we laughed, we ate well, but it was all mixed with a longing sadness, wishing we had her with us. 

The next to last photo is it Kyler and my father in law, who lost his very best friend. We just love him so much and pray for his continued healing as he grieves this horrible loss and emptiness. 

The final photo is of Nana’s grandkids each holding their collage of photos of them and their Nana. This gift brought some tears, but we can tell will be treasured by each of them. She was one of a kind, and so special to all six of them.

Tree decorating night! Goodness I love my kids. Tree decorating night! Goodness I love my kids.
I know many of you don’t know many of the people I know many of you don’t know many of the people in this photo, but I know many of you pray. The beautiful woman on the far left of the couch is my bonus-momma, my husband’s mom. She has stopped all treatment for her cancer and is going home to be with Jesus soon. We prayed for her to feel well enough to be with us at Thanksgiving, and though she felt pretty crappy, she was there. 

If you know her, you know what I mean when I say this is one of the kindest, most joyful, selfless people I have ever known. The world won’t be the same without her. We are devastated and hurting. We pray for her peace, her comfort, her pain, and for God to relieve her of the suffering. 

Last night was a huge mixture of pure joy and devastating sadness. We celebrated and hugged, and laughed, and we cried. It’s just so hard. Thanks for praying for our family. ❤️

So glad we decided to add this rambunctious ball of fluff to our crew!
