Overview: This is a picture book that explains the process of planting and caring for a garden, picking, washing, and cooking vegetables for vegetable soup.
Activity: This activity will be a part of our Family and Giving Thanks unit. I will read this story to the students as a way to develop their prior knowledge of how vegetables are grown and how they end up in the grocery store. Students will brainstorm ingredients we will need in order to make our soup. The students will participate in washing, cutting, and cooking the vegetables for our soup. We will weigh and measure utensils, cookware, and veggies. They will also compare things by size and shape. We will keep a record of changes the students notice as the soup cooks. Then we will eat our soup together with invited guests, and family.
