Special instructions for the day: During Self-Selected teachers will need to help make sure that
children have made a pizza and for those who have not make a few extra so they have one for
small focus group to eat. When pizzas are being made we must put them in the oven to cook
during self-selected so that they have time to cook and cool off before we break up into small
focus groups. Teachers set up small focus group tables with the cooked pizzas and other group
materials before the children get there please!!!! This is so we are not scrambling and keeping
the children waiting for the pizzas to come for so long.
