Today for P Day, Suzy had the boys make their own personal pizzas. They got to pull the dough out of the bowl, and push the dough down to make it flat. Then spread sauce and put cheese and pepperoni on top.
While the pizzas were baking, Suzy showed the boys how to paint on the pavement. I'll admit, as the manager of our apartment complex I was slightly nervous when she announced this as the activity, until I realized that she meant painting with water. :) She gave each boy a yogurt cup full of water and a popsicle stick. They got to dip the popsicle stick in water and use it to make fun designs on the pavement outside. All the boys thought it was great, and didn't seem to notice or mind that it was just water and not real paint. I'm going to have to do this again...same entertainment and no mess! You can't beat that. And it was easy enough that even Ivan could participate and have a good time.
After the pizzas were done, we packed up and walked to the park for a picnic. Then the kids got to play on the playground. It was a great day, and nice to have a little bit of a different approach to letter day. And the kids still got the idea of the letter P even though they were at the park and not really in a setting where they were continually reminded to focus on the letter. :)
