Sopa de Piedras

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, this week we read "Sopa de Piedras." 





Monday, we discussed and read the story. 





In the story three soldiers come to a village looking for food.  None of the villagers want to share their food for whatever reason. 

So the soldiers go to the plaza, put a Stone in a pot, and begin to cook "soup."  Little by Little, the villagers come, and to make the soup better, they each bring an ingredient. 

It results in a delicious pot luck soup for the entire village to enjoy. 







After, the students illustrated the ingredients that the villagers had brought, and added to the pot. (CCLS Literature 1) 


Tuesday, we created a graph of the ingredients students brought in.  For first-time graphs, I thought the students did an excellent job.  (CCLS Math 1.MD.4)


Wednesday
Our big celebration! 

Preparando la sopa



All morning long students prepared for our Thanksgiving lunch; cutting and peeling vegetables, mixing and stirring ingredients.











After lunch students enjoyed their feast.

Happy Thanksgiving!
