Stone Soup - 2021

"Bring what you've got! Put it in the pot! We're making Stone Soup."
Our classroom focused on the version written by Heather Forest and illustrated by Susan Gaber; however, there are many versions of Stone Soup, all of which teach the lesson of how each of us is significant and, no matter the size of the contribution, when we come together, we create a healthier, happier community.


The children worked hard to churn heavy cream into butter, which we enjoyed during our feast.



Not only did the children contribute items for the soup, they worked on their cutting skills and did a wonderful job!






















Along with the many different versions of Stone Soup, I read to the children, each day, Giving Thanks: A Native American Good Morning Message by Chief Jake Swamp. 




Every individual has something to offer a community; when we come together, we create a community worth celebrating. 
We have so much for which to feel thankful.


Happy Thanksgiving!
