I used two Stone Soup stories to compare/contrast, then extended it to a math lesson as well. If you have enough to feed these three, how much of each (carrot, meat, etc) for 6 soldiers, 10 soldiers.
First we used symbols for the food on paper whole group, then numbers indv, and then I used clip art to give them color paper pieces of each, and in groups they created posters.
They had a blast! =)

I am looking forward to using this book, The Empty Pot (one recommended by ReadWorks.Org and The Story of Ping in a book to book to book connection discussion.
Lots of ways to weave them together, I hope.

Hello, Jan.
My name is Paula. I'm a Resource teacher in Rhode Island (I used to teach the severe/profound populations, beh. classes, mild/mod., etc - that the way with Special Ed. You end up moving all over the place if you are certified in all areas!). Anyway, I know you posted this comment in ReadWorks in 2013. But I would love to know how you did your 'weaving' of these three books. I love to do that, too. And I love introducing tales from other countries. The students I work with in the 3rd grade love to do this, too. There are many students in that class that want to join my resource group ! lol
Are you still teaching? I have 3 more years and then I will be retiring.
I hope I hear from you !
Paula
