Kindergarten Stone Soup

Kelsie kindergarten class read the book Stone Soup by Marcia Brown . Kelsie told me that it is about a man who didn't have much to eat and so he decided to make soup using stones, his friends and neighbors heard what he was doing. They each brought something to add to the soup such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and so forth. With everyone sharing it made a wonderful soup for everyone to share.
Kelsie's class each student was supposed to bring something to put in the soup and then the kids invite the parents to share the soup with them. The party was supposed to be the day before Thanksgiving break, but we had a snow day on Tuesday so they were not able to make the soup (it had to cook overnight in the crock pots.) The party was push back till the following week, it was worth the wait.
Kelsie and her class performed songs that they have been learning about the letters of the alphabet. In this picture they are singing about Benny Bear.
Here is my stone soup, it was very good but very spicy.
Here is Kelsie and Karlee enjoying their stone soup, cornbread, and pumpkin bars. Every time I wanted take of Karlee she would turn away from me. As you can see the girls really enjoy the food.
After the lunch the kids went to writing on wipe boards. Karlee joined right in she loves going to school with Kelsie. I love Kelsie's teacher because she lets Karlee come in and join right in with the class, that way I am able to help in the classroom and not have to worry about finding a sitter for Karlee. And Kelsie loves to have Karlee right there with her. One of the kids in the class asked me if Karlee and Kelsie were twins- I thought that was cute.
