Taylor
Parks Elementary School students from Ms. Gorski's and Mrs. Abramas' class are
gourmet cooks in the making.
Students
studied the folk tale Stone Soup, and followed it up with the creation. Students
mixed in corn, potatoes, broth, beans, and served the soup along with homemade
butter and roles, to staff members, parent volunteers, and them selves.
Hands on learning at its finest.
The
Story of Stone Soup: Three soldiers came marching down the road towards a
French village. The peasants seeing them coming, suddenly became very busy, for
soldiers are often hungry. So all the food was hidden under mattresses or in
barns. There followed a battle of wits, with the soldiers equal to the
occasion. Stone soup? Why, of course, they could make a wonderful soup of
stones ... but, of course, one must add a carrot or tow ... some meat ... so it
went.
