Chasing A Dream
Ever since I was in middle school, it had been my dream to be a teacher. It was always
my goal in life to give back, inspire, and make the same difference in kids lives as the teachers
that I had growing up did in mine. Even though I knew this is what I wanted to do, life got in the
way. People tried to deter me from following my dreams based on the salary I would make or the
lifestyle I would have to live. For some reason, I let what people were saying to me get to me and
hold me back from pursuing my goal. It only took me three years of college to come to the
realization that I am going to school for me, I am doing what makes me happy and ultimately

Pizza Fractions
Teacher Ms. Stotts
Subject Math/Art
Grade Level 3rd grade
Time duration 30 minutes
Overview Each student will make his/her own pizza. Each pizza will have 8 slices,
customized however each child chooses whether its cheese, pepperoni
meat, etc. With colored construction paper students, will physically
build their pizza making sure that all 8 slices are filled with something.
Using these slices, kids will learn about fractions as well as associate
fractions will real life
Anticipatory Set Introduce what we will be doing today. Combining art with math and
making pizza fractions. Explain that fractions exist in our lives all around
us and give a couple examples. Ask if anyone knows anything about
fractions or has any examples to share with everyone.
Direct Instruction Talk about how today we will make our own examples and show the 8-
sliced example pizza that I made. Explain to the students that
everyones pizzas can be different, for them to be creative. Hand out
the supplies and allow kids to get started.
Guided Practice While we will work as a class for the first few minutes getting the hang
of how pizza fractions work, students will demonstrate their
understanding by individually answering fraction questions and holding
their whiteboards up so I can make sure everyone understands. Any
student that is confused, I will meet with individually to give any
additional help.
Closure
Take a few minutes and talk in groups about what we learned from the
pizza fractions, then have groups share
Independent Practice After we have practiced as a class, I will give kids a brief worksheet to
answer some pizza fraction questions like we discussed in class
