At Jubilee, we believe that learning should be fun, interactive, and memorable. This week, our 6th graders had a blast during a unique and exciting activity that combined creativity, laughter, and a touch of mystery – the Paper Pizza Puzzle Day!
A Slice of Creativity
But these weren’t just any pizzas; these were special slices with a twist. Each student designed their pizza with colorful toppings and imaginative flair. Once their masterpieces were complete, they flipped their pizzas over to reveal the next part of the activity: writing riddles!
Honduran Riddles for Extra Flavor
Our students penned down some classic Honduran riddles, adding a cultural touch to their creative work. Here’s a mix of some riddles we have in Honduras and their counterparts (not direct translations) in English.

The Joy of Interactive Learning
Activities like the Paper Pizza Puzzle Day are a testament to the power of interactive and enjoyable learning experiences.

Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter reminds us why we do what we do.
