My Project

The Lemonade Crime is the sequel to a book we are going to read called The Lemonade War. It builds upon the themes and lessons intruduced in the first book and supports continued literacy development.

Like its predecessor, The Lemonade Crime offers a compelling story that can enhance students' reading skills.

In this sequel the characters face more complex challenges that are bound to keep the reader engaged and will spark enjoyment of reading. As the characters devise a plan to right a wrong using math and logic, students can further apply mathamatical concepts such as problem-solving and strategic thingking. The interactions between the characters offer opportunities for students to explore themes of friendship, trust and responsibility, supporting their social and emotional development.

My students are some of the most sweet and kind children who show great empathy for one another and the world around them and they are beginning to find a love and joy in reading chapter books. Ultimately I want my students to have these books to take home and continue reading over the summer even without my guidance so they can continue the adventure and get lost in a great book.
