The Jefferson Bear's 3rd Grade GCT and Enrichment Reading Group


Jefferson Way Lemonade
"Making Your Lemonade Dreams Come True"

Congratulations to the 3rd Grade GCT and Enrichment Reading Group who not only made fresh squeezed lemonade, but sold it to their classmates today for $.50.  They were able to make a 'net profit' which they are going to donate to the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer.

To prepare for the event we read Jacqueline Davis' book, "Lemonade War."  We have looked at short videos, read other books, and investigated economic concepts, like developing a business plan and their very own commercial.  Students not only had a great time learning, but also applying learned concepts to their everyday life.
