Teacher note
Plan on 10 to 15 minutes with ages 6 to 11 (about grades 1 to 6). An adult reads aloud. Show the photo, read one story, ask one discussion question, and point to the place. If you have time, read another story or do the kindness challenge. The rest of the pack can wait. This week has 1 classroom story ready, so the pack is shorter than five. Skip any part a story does not include.
In this pack

Jonesboro's 16th Souper Sunday raises money toward a new house
Where in the world: Jonesboro, Arkansas, United States
Nov 2, 2026
Read aloud
Ages 6 to 11. An adult reads this.
In Jonesboro, Arkansas, Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Arkansas held Souper Sunday for the 16th time. People taste soups, and the money helps build a house. This year the funds are aimed at a new home in Paragould, a nearby city. Habitat for Humanity is a group that helps families get a house they help build. Sixteen years means the soup event is a habit. The news is that the tasting happened again and the money is pointed at one house, not that the house is already finished.
Discussion
- How can a bowl of soup turn into part of a house?
- What jobs go into building a home besides hammering nails?
