Stone Soup

Each year right around Thanksgiving, we take the opportunity to read Stone Soup and make our own soup in class.  Stone Soup is a wonderful story and the version we read, by Jon Muth, depicts the most delicate and lovely landscapes.

Each child brought an ingredient for the soup and got to add it to the big soup pot.

They poured and stirred and smelled the soup.  And YES, we even added a stone.
Don't worry, parents.  We thoroughly washed the stone!  (Don't you love that tongue!)

The soup cooked while we were on the playground.  When we came in from playing, we all sat down together and had the soup.  Most people really liked our soup, and only two didn't try it.  Yay!
