Stone Soup

Making Stone Soup is one of the most fun activities we do all year.  Just after Thanksgiving, we read Mrs. O'Connor's favorite version of this well-known story.  Jon Muth's version is beautifully illustrated with ethereal watercolors of gorgeous Asian mountain scenes.  Love it!
The children all brought ingredients and one by one we created our soup!

Check out this very earnest stirring!!
Of course we added a stone.  Don't worry parents, we scrubbed it first.

After everyone created the soup, we took it to the church kitchen to cook while we played.  After our playground time we came in to taste our soup.  Yum!  Mrs. O'Connor and Mrs. Magee were super proud of all the children who tried the soup.  We even had a few Bunnies ask for more!
Stone Soup is a wonderful story to illustrate the power of working together.
