As it starts getting chilly in this fall season, let's make soup. I look forward to children getting to chop vegetables and put them into a common pot to bring the story of "Stone Soup" to life. Then with stones and water as the base, we will all contribute to the soup and be able to eat it later.
I request that each family prepare some vegetables at home by semi-cooking them in 10 chunks -- so they are easy for children to cut, and each child can cut every veggie, with adults role-modeling. A few vegetables are soft enough to not precook, like mushrooms and zuchini. Each child will have a small cutting board and a lovely wooden knife and will be busy with many diverse veggies. To be honest, we do not need to make a large amount, so you don't need to bring a lot of the vegetable you choose to bring. Just 10 reasonably choppable pieces. Imagine that amount times 8 contributers -- and your child's veggie appetite. Make sure to label the container you deliver your veggies in, both so we can thank each child and their family appropriately, and also so you can get your items back after. Ok?
Requests for cooking the soup:
1. I'd love to have a parent volunteer stay and be in charge of the actual cooking of the soup. Please speak up if this works for you.
2. If someone has a HOT PLATE or a small crock pot they are willing to bring, speak up. That would allow the cooking to stay downstairs.
Note: no class on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, of course.
