Stone Soup

I hope you have all enjoyed the famous fictional feast book titled Stone Soup, this version by Ann McGovern. To celebrate the harvest, and clever thinkers who persevere, we like to make Stone Soup in our class. Lots of willing family members came this morning, ready to take on the challenge of using sharp utensils safely with preschoolers. Our classroom was abuzz with happy kids helping to peel and chop contributed vegetables with family adults. A former pre-k student, now kindergartner, stopped by and a look of happy memory spread across his face, as he realized that it was Stone Soup day in pre-k. Here is a glimpse for you, too:

 

Just before dismissal, we assembled the big pot of soup as we re-read the book ... It is bubbling away on my stove as I write. Pre-k families are welcome to join us at 11:30 tomorrow (Tuesday) for a tasting.
