Spaghetti Fun!

Last week we enjoyed reading the well known Tomie de Paula story of Strega Nona.   In this special story, Strega Nona owns a magic pot that does all of the cooking for her when she says her magic words.  A character by the name of Big Anthony tries to run the big pot, but ends up with a tremendous amount of spaghetti to eat!  We then challenged the students to write about their own magic pot and what it would cook up.  It was fun to read through the different foods these pots would give them!  We then finished our spaghetti unit eating spaghetti of course!
