Pizza Party with the kids

Last Sunday, I had a pizza party with some of the kids at our English school. It was one of the prizes they could "buy" with the play money they earned for doing HW and winning games. I used to make tons of pizza with students when I was an SM on Ebeye, so I figured it couldn't be THAT difficult.
BUT, this time, the kids were mostly 1st and 2nd graders, so that made it a bit more hectic for the adults, since we had them make everything from scratch. Kid's these days don't seem to get much of a chance to do messy stuff, so the look the kids had on their faces when they mixed the dough made the whole thing worth it.

We had 7 little kids, 2 jr. high girls to help, and 2 teachers in all. The kids made their own dough, rolled it, spread the pizza sauce, and picked their own toppings. So they basically made the whole thing themselves. There was one kid who came and asked me about 5 times if it really was okay for him not to put any vegetables on his pizza. He just couldn't seem to believe that he could get away with not adding any vegetables. It was cute.

The water I poured was probably too hot, so I must've killed the yeast since the crust didn't rise much. But the kids still enjoyed their pizzas a whole lot, so in the end, all went well.

Kids, they can drive you nuts sometimes, and during class, they're experts at draining your energy, but when we do things outside of class, I get to goof around with them, so it's a blast!
