First Grade Lemonade War

All the first grade classes at Julia's school read the book The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies.  As a culminating activity the classes had their own lemonade war to see who could sell the most lemonade and make the most money.  It was advertised to the rest of the school to come and buy lemonade and the cost was either 50 cents or $1.00 depending on which stand you went to.  I was lucky enough to help out with selling lemonade for Julia's class and both my kids brought $2.00 of their own money to buy some lemonade too.

Julia's class sold lemonade snow ones which were a huge hit with the kids.

Helping out and having a blast!  We sold lemonade from 9-12:30 so all the classes in the school could come and have a chance to buy lemonade from the different stands.

Julia loved helping out selling the lemonade.

All the kids in the class got a chance to come out and help for 15-20 minutes.  Julia and Addison were working partners and they did awesome!  I love the look on their faces when they saw how much money we made thus far.

Now Julia is ready to have her own lemonade stand this summer.

 Taking a break for a photo!  These two girls did so awesome!

 It was absolute chaos so I had to take a photo of the craziness.

More craziness!  The line for snow cone lemonade was a bit long at times.

More craziness and some of the other lemonade stands.

Cute little stand.

Another lemonade stand.  The whole first grade made about $1300 that morning and Julia's class made the most money with $320.00.  It really was a fun morning and I'm so glad I was a part of it.
