SOUPS ON

As the weather turned colder our thoughts turned to some-thing warm and comforting. We read the book Stone Soup and made some soup.

If you are not familiar with the story, it is about some soldiers who are traveling and are very hungry. Everyone hides their food and tells them they have nothing. Finally they say they can make soup from a stone, someone brings him a big pot and he starts a fire in the center of town. Someone else brings a bucket of water, as the water and stone boil, they talk about how tasty the soup will be, but it would be better if only it had carrots. Immediately someone runs home and brings a bunch of carrots, as this cooks they mention another ingredient that would make it extra special and someone goes and brings that. This continues until they have a wonderful meal for the whole town.

It is a great story to show how important cooperation and shar-ing is. We asked the children to bring in something that would be good in soup; they all got to participate in making the soup that we then shared with our parents.
