TAYLOR PARKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL students become gourmet cooks


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.
