Kindergarten Edible Social Studies: Week 4

Our theme for this lesson was cook together and eat together! In the classroom we read Marcia Brown’s retelling of the old European folktale Stone Soup. Students thought the story was about sharing, and making something bigger from lots of small parts.

In the kitchen we made our own version of stone soup, using a potato as our stone, and filled the pot with lots of fruits and vegetables and barley, which was one of the ingredients the villagers added in the book we read. The kindergarten chefs are getting super comfortable using all the tools and equipment in the outdoor classroom and it’s great to see their confidence grow.
