Stone Soup

This week we made stone soup.  Before we made the stone soup we read several versions of the book and acted out the story using a big pot and play vegetables from our kitchen. Unfortunately, my phone was having problems and I lost those photos when I got my new phone (fortunately, I brought my phone into the Apple store just days before the warranty ended...that never happens to me). This is how we made stone soup:

We started by washing our stones very well.

Next we cut up the vegetables that we brought to add to the soup.

While the soup cooked, we went for a walk and found a huge hollow tree trunk that was perfect for making another batch of stone soup.

We came back to our classroom and tried our stone soup.  Initially, several children said they only wanted to smell the stone soup.  Eventually, everyone tried it and decided it was DELICIOUS!
