Cooking Pizza with Chef Ad J. Tive

When we did this lesson last year, my kiddos were crazy about it. I knew Chef Ad J. Tive would have to make a visit again. =)

When we came back from lunch on Friday, we had a letter waiting for us.


We also had 4 bags with mystery ingredients inside.


Chef Ad J. Tive told us to listen for the adjectives in each riddle because they would help us infer the ingredients we would be using.


We recorded the adjectives using interactive writing on a chart. Please keep in mind that I am NOT at all creative when it comes to making crafts. My chef hat is quite sad looking but my kiddos did not care. =)


This is the recording sheet my kiddos recorded the adjectives on.


After we inferred that we would be using strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and a cookie, it was time for my little chefs to start cooking. They LOVED investigating the kiwi and got a kick out of this hairy fruit. We also got in some discussions about fractions and part-part-whole math.

Here are 2 of our adjective pizza creations.


Now, it was time for a craftivity. After seeing Cara's amazing and cutie patootie Compound Word Cooks, we turned them into Adjective Chefs.


They designed the pizza to look like the adjective pizza they made. They then wrote adjectives about the pizza around the plate. Here is a closer look. =)



Hop over to my TPT store to grab this fun *freebie*. =)


I would LOVE for you to leave me a heart note and let me know what you think. =)

From My Heart to Yours,

    This is an absolutely fabulous idea! I'm thinking this will make a good end of the year writing activity as we work from kinder level to first grade level. Thanks so much for sharing!

    This is a great idea! We have done adjectives already this year, so I'm going to have to tuck it away for next year or throw it in for review. Very creative!

    Heather, of course I love this idea! I looked for your email address but I couldn't find it. A really great opportunity for teachers has come to my attention, but I'd rather email you about it since I can only share it with a very small number of teachers. Can you send me a quick email so I can tell you about it?

    I love this idea! Adjectives are something that my kids always have a hard time with and I absolutely love this idea to teach it. I also love how you can tie inferencing in with this with the clues! Great idea Heather!

    Chef Service is not easy. To succeed you must define your objectives and your strategies. You need a good planning. A Business plan is very important. It will give you a picture clear and concise of what you should be doing and how to do it.
