Our Soup project is coming to an end. First grade students will be bringing home their class recipe books today, and Kindergarten students will be bringing home their mini-book version of the story Stone Soup. Talking and learning about recipes, vegetables, healthy vs. unhealthy foods, and reading relevant fiction and non-fiction books provided us with lots of opportunity to read, write, listen, and speak in English. I encourage you to ask your student to tell you about the story of Stone Soup. If you've not heard this story before, it is an old story about a hungry traveler who tells the people he meets that he can make soup from a stone - fancy that! There are many versions of this old story and it teaches about the importance of working together and sharing. If you know a version of this story, please share it with your student. It is fun to see how two versions of a story are both similar and different.
