The First Grade day of lemonade making was a hit!
The day before we made the lemonade the students made "Lemonade Stand" signs. I split them up into six groups in each class to make the signs. Here are some of the groups with their creations :):
|
Leah, Anyelo, Pablo, Genesis, and Jose Maximino |
|
Javier, Maria Jose (Mom - this is the little girl I want to adopt!), Jose Alberto, and Harold |
|
Joseemir (what a face!), Kimberly, Ildellynne, and Jose Rejinaldo |
This was my favorite sign:
|
Katherine, Nelson, Mariela, and Carmen |
I went outside ten minutes before I had the students come out so I could get set up...
|
Ready to go |

Lots of Lemons! |
Mr. Ball and the sixth graders came to help us...

Jeff and I share a lot of siblings between our classes. Here are some of the sets:
|
Milca and her big sister |
|
Anyelo and his big brother Carlos |
|
Solangel and her big sister |
|
Harrison and his big brother Chris |
Miss Varela (Wendy) was a HUGE help. She was great with the kids and did most of the cleaning after we finished making our lemonade. I am so grateful for her...

Me with Omar. Look Mom -- I'm wearing the dress you sent me :) |
Anne, Jackie, and Jeff were all amazing helpers. Since Anne and Jackie just teach for half of the day they are free in the afternoons to tutor the low students in 1st - 6th grade. On this particular day they didn't need to tutor anyone, so I got some extra hands :)!

It was so great to see the sixth graders helping the first graders. After the lemonade had been made, my students had to write down the steps they took in their Science journals. The sixth graders helped them write all of the steps in English. I loved watching them work together:

We had a great day -- and the lemonade tasted pretty good too :)

I love the pictures. You are doing an amazing job Bridget. All of the kids are adorable and you are absolutely beautiful.
Check into the adoption process.....I think she would be a wonderful addition to our family....
Love,
Mom
Great photos! Love the activity. Glad you paired up with older kids to help! I'm sure it was fun for them, too... and a tremendous help for you and your students.
