Stone Soup
/The excitement was palpable today as students arrived ready to prepare and feast on stone soup. We started the day with chopping our vegetables. We learned proper knife handling technique and made sure to tuck our fingers as we chopped. We read three different versions of Stone Soup today. It was interesting to compare and contrast the details in each. As a whole school community we listened to Mr. Mark read his favorite version of the story before we sat down to enjoy a school-wide feast. We enjoyed feasting with old and new friends. Here were some of the comments overhead during the feast:
“I used to not like celery, but now I do. I was like, ‘man, that’s too minty’. But now it feels pretty good.” ~Leone
“I ate two bowls! My tastes have really changed.” ~ Landon
“That was so good!” ~Roxinny
“It was okay. I ate one bite of potato.”
We are truly grateful for the students, teachers, and families who make up this loving community. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break.
