Stone Soup

After reading and talking about the story, "Stone Soup" we decided to make our own soup as a class!

We learned that the moral of the story is that great things can be achieved when people come together and share. Because we had so many generous vegetable donations, each child was able to contribute his or her own ingredient to our soup!

 In addition to making the soup, we also created amazing recipe books that include every ingredient we added to our pot. We let the soup cook all day, and after patiently waiting, we finally enjoyed it in the afternoon! Here are some photos from our activities today!

Writing Celebration!

Over the past week, we have been working really hard writing book reviews of our favorite stories. Today, to show off our hard work, we invited parents to come in and listen to the book reviews we wrote. Thanks so much to everyone who came to listen to our writing today. We loved having you!

Visiting author Sandra Philipson


We would like to say thank you to our visiting author, Sandra Philipson, for coming to Grant School yesterday! Mrs. Philipson even brought her two dogs Tak and Penny, who appear in many of her books! She then taught us how to illustrate a dog and we got to practice on our own!
