Stone Soup

Today, we made our stone soup. We had read the story, "Stone Soup" last week. In the story, a village of people who were very greedy helped make a soup together. The villagers realized they would have to share their own ingredients to make a great soup. We discussed how the soup would have been awful if nobody had put any other ingredients in the soup besides the stones. So I had each student bring an ingredient to go in our soup (i.e. beef broth, corn, carrots, tomatoes, etc). Today, I had the students put the ingredient they brought into the soup. Then, everybody got the chance to stir the soup. Later in the afternoon, we put out the place mats we had made with our study buddies and enjoyed soup, goldfish crackers, and juice. It was a wonderful meal. :-)
