Third –graders at Washington Magnet Elementary put into practice what they learned in reading the book Lemonade Wars, which teaches economics in describing the competing lemonade stands operated by Evan and his younger sister, Jessie.
The four third-grade classes are using the concepts they learned in the book to market and sell lemonade at school. They have designed marketing campaigns with posters and t-shirts and developed incentives to encourage purchase of their lemonade. The lemonade competition will continue at the school’s fund raising fun day planned for April 2.
Teachers added another dimension to the project by including Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Money raised by the students’ sale of lemonade will go to the foundation that helps children who suffer from cancer. You can donate to the foundation in the school’s name.
