Due to popular demand...the Tiny Tigers Pizza Palace will return to the Riley Preschool Annex for a one day only pop-up restaurant event! Students will have the opportunity to experience a real-life restaurant setting and atmosphere that provides a unique learning experience that complements our “restaurant” theme in the Tools of the Mind curriculum.
We will be decorating the multipurpose room to give an “old-school pizza joint” vibe filled with classic red and white checkered tablecloths, red brick backdrop, waiters and a hostess dressed to impress to round out the experience.
Students will be provided with a pizza dough experience, live demonstration, and of course fresh slices for the students to taste after they are done “making” the pizza. There will be flour used during the student egg-free dough interaction. Please note some flour may get on their clothes. Pizza that students will be consuming will NOT be the dough they will be interacting with.
See the details below of our one-day only Pizza Palace Pop-Up Event:
