Stone Soup Poem

Heat some water in a pot.

Add some stones you've scrubbed a lot.

Sprinkle pepper, salt and herbs.

Let it boil undisturbed.

Drop in carrots, onions, too.

Let the soup heat through and through.

Stir in milk to make it sweet.

Add potatoes for a treat.

Toss in meat cubes. Let it stew.

Let it bubble, let it brew.

Taste the soup and when it's done,

Share Stone Soup with EVERYONE

Stone Soup!

We will be making stone soup on Tuesday.  We will read the books (fun to read different versions and compare) and then see if we can make a little stone soup "magic" on our own.  Can the sharing and friendship that develops and occurs in the books be repeated in our own class?  Each child should bring an ingredient to add to the soup that will make our soup taste great.  Will the stones actually make some of the best soup we ever tasted?  Time will tell.
