Mrs. Gandara PS/MS 138 Sunrise
Rosedale, NY Grades PreK-2

I am a special education Pre-K teacher. My students' ages range from 3 to 4. They are eager, enthusiastic, and curious. The community is high-need. Although many of my students' parents struggle, they are enthusiastic about their children's education.

We love PIZZA! Pizza is a very well liked food in my classroom. My students really enjoy eating pizza. Every Friday, the cooks prepare pizza for our lunch. Since it is something that my students like, I've decided that it would be a great topic for them to study. There is so much that they can learn through the topic of pizza. I believe it is best to build upon something that is familiar. It is one of the best ways to capture students' attention. The play area in the classroom will be set up like a pizza shop.

The materials requested will allow our pizza shop to be effective. The chef's costumes with the pizza pieces etc. Stories will provide an elaborate yet fun background about pizza.

Please help us to make our dress-up area into the best pizza shop possible. We truly need these items as soon as possible. Thank you for your time.
