My daughter has decided it’s fun to make personal pizza with English muffins so she decided that this week she wanted to make breakfast pizza with English muffins. This is a fun way to get your kids cooking breakfast for you.

What a great idea to get your kids cooking. When I taught I incorporated cooking into the curriculum. In October we celebrated Columbus’ birthday by making English Muffin pizzas. It was done in a center where the children had to read the directions to make their pizza then have the teacher place the pizza in the oven and take it out when it was ready. That was one of their favorite centers and they used all their modalities for learning even the ones you normally don’t use–tasting and smelling.
