Use the chat to decide with your classmates which 5 words you want to hear. Then, one person must ask the teacher to play the sound. Good luck!

My pizza is sure to be one of a kind,
my pizza will leave other pizzas behind,
my pizza will be a delectable treat,
that all who love pizza are welcome to eat.
I'm making a pizza the size of the sun,
a pizza that's sure to weigh more than a ton,
a pizza too massive to pick up and toss,
a pizza resplendent with oceans of sauce.
I'm topping my pizza with mountains of cheese,
with acres of peppers, pimentos, and peas,
with mushrooms, tomatoes, and sausage galore,
with every last olive, they had at the store.
The oven is hot, I believe it will take
a year and a half for my pizza to bake.
I can hardly wait ‘til my pizza is done,
my wonderful pizza the size of the sun.
