The children at Montessori School of Central Vermont, Inc. celebrated thanksgiving as a school community with a feast of Stone Soup. Stone Soup has become an annual tradition at the Montessori School of Central Vermont currently serving children ages 3-9. The story of Stone Soup is told of hungry travelers who come to a village. No one in the village is willing to share food with the hungry travelers. The travelers respond by telling the villagers that they will teach them how to make soup out of stones. One by one the villagers make an offering to the soup of various ingredients until a feast is born. It is a story of sharing, and coming together. Stone Soup is an illustration of when everyone contributes even just a little, something bigger can be created in the end. The children acted out their own story and made their own Stone Soup, bread, pies and flower arrangements, then shared in a community feast in celebration of sharing and giving.
