Making Stone Soup is an old tradition that we have incorporated into our Harvest Feast celebration. The folktale is a favorite and we have read many versions of the story over the years. We love the message and always find new ways to reimagine the process of cooking together as a community. This year we had a Stone Soup Market where each group of children could visit and select the item that they would prepare for our soup.

After weeks of hard work and practice we finally performed the movement piece that the children have been working on with Michael. This culminating, all-school endeavor weaved together the story of the Three Sisters we learned from the Haudenosaunee people. The Carriage House were the Three Sisters, the Upstairs Neighborhood played the parts of the Weather and the Long House and the Fungi Friends were the rain that watered the crops. It was a beautiful expression of learning, collaboration and artistic expression
