Stone Soup by Jon J Muth

Stone Soup is our first corner stone book. We are combining this read aloud with a classroom community building activity. Each child takes a rock and writes their talent or interest on the rock with a marker. Together, we make our own "stone soup" and see how we have many talents in the class.

What is your talent? How does this talent help others?
