Sharing on Valentine’s Day
Dear Parents,
All the kids seemed extra happy on Valentine’s Day. One student exclaimed, “This is the best day of my life!”
We hope you have heard all about our Stone Soup making experience. As part of our ADST curriculum, students all had an opportunity to cut various vegetables which they really enjoyed. Great success when no one cuts their finger! We have deemed that they “passed the test” and are all ready to help chop vegetables at home now so feel free to solicit their meal prep skills. Children were encouraged to try different vegetables and give ones they had already made up their mind they didn’t like another chance. We discussed what having a closed mind versus open mind meant. As a result, some discovered they have a new liking for mushrooms! So many of them really enjoyed the vegetable soup, shouting, “This is sooo yummy!”
Core Competency connection:
- I can keep an open mind to try new things.
- I can contribute to my classroom community by helping out.
- I can use tools in a safe manner.
Thank you so much for your contribution to our soup! Your ingredients made it taste simply delicious! And thank you to Manoj’s mom for helping us out in the morning; we appreciate your time.
Dear students,
What did you think about making our Stone Soup? How did you feel about cutting the vegetables? How do you think making Stone Soup helps to bring people together like in the story we listened to? What is your “I Can” statement?
We would love to read your reflections on our soup making day!
Thank you, Ms. Chan & Ms. Cowan
