As a Math/Science/holiday activity we made Italian Pizzelle cookies with Ms. Ballarin’s class today. Ms Ballarin and I both have pizzelle makers at home, mine was given to me by my mom. While making the dough, we used Math concepts to measure using measuring cups and spoons. In Science, we also explored changes in matter through heating and cooling. It was exciting for the students to make cookies in a new way. Each child ate one cookie to 1 1/2 cookies at school today. We hope they enjoyed making and eating them!
