![]() ![]() I would consider our first attempt at making soup a success!Ī couple of weeks ago, I read the book, Stone Soup by Jon J. This is a Chinese folktale about three monks who teach a village a lesson about sharing and happiness. The monks trick the villagers into each contributing an ingredient to the “stone soup” they are making. In the end, the villagers come together to enjoy the soup that they all worked together to make. The soup was so tasty because they all contributed something and because they celebrated together.Īs we read, we discussed the characters and the symbolism in the book. ![]() I think of the story as a metaphor for our school. Each student contributes something interesting to our school, and by working together, we make something greater than if we just worked individually. So we wanted the soup that we made together to benefit the community in some way.Īlso, being a part of our community is very important to us. 30 pages Adobe Reader required for access.
