Last week we read the story Stone Soup. Today we assembled the ingredients. Just like in the story, each person brought an ingredient from home to share. Mrs. Magee found a giant pot for us!
The children took turns putting their ingredients in the pot. Our actions were "opening", "pouring" and "stirring".
The girls discovered that it is really hard to stir and the spoon was very noisy in the pot when there were only veggies. They didn't like the scratchy squeaky sound (and neither did Mrs. O'Connor). Gabriel added broth and everything was better.
There was much stirring - oh so much stirring!
Then even MORE veggies went in the pot. We could already see and smell that this was going to be super soup!And, oh yes, we put a stone in it. It's the main ingredient after all.
No worries, Parents. William scrubbed it with soap and water before he put it in the pot. It was the cleanest stone ever.
The very best part of all was that EACH CHILD tried the soup and all but one LIKED it! That's got to be a record. Mrs. Magee and Mrs. O'Connor were so pleased and proud.
Just like the book teaches - sharing what we have really does make us happy inside!
Happy Thanksgiving!
