Field Trip To Donatos Pizza

Our First Graders go to Donatos Pizza each year. The children have so much fun seeing the behind the scenes view in the kitchen area, and walk-in refrigerator and freezer. As the students are having fun, they are also participating in several first grade skills and topics. Sequencing in reading is a skill we practice all year long in first grade. While the children are preparing their pizzas, they are using sequencing terms such as first, next, then, and last. We also study food groups and nutrition in first grade. I know you're probably saying pizza is not a great example of nutritious food--but it really is because it incorporates several food groups--and if you put vegetables as one of your toppings, you could have a balanced meal!
