The Lemonade War Craft and Vocabulary Booklet

February 14, 2018

The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies is a great story to read aloud to your class or use with your small group. This story follows both Evan and Jessie (who are brother and sister) as they dive into the world of running a lemonade stand. Along the way you will read about their grudges, misunderstandings, and competitive nature while also learning some kid-friendly business advice. Today I want to share two activities you can use with your students while reading The Lemonade War: a lemonade craft and a vocabulary booklet.

lemonade war craft booklet

This lemonade craft booklet can be used with The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies. There are two different cover options.

This lemonade craft booklet can be used during or after reading the story. I have included two covers – one has a title and clipart and the other is left blank so students can color it in to make it look like a glass of lemonade. I have also included templates to add a straw and a lemon wedge.

 

This lemonade craft booklet can be used with The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies. There are three different writing templates included.

On the inside of the lemonade booklet, students can respond to the text in a variety of ways. There are three different templates to choose from (lined, blank, and a picture/writing combo). These pages would be great for chapter summaries, character studies, book reviews, and more! These lemonade craft booklets can be put on a bulletin board display when finished.

 

lemonade war vocabulary booklet

This lemonade words booklet can be used to help students with vocabulary while reading The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies.

Since each chapter title in the story focuses on a business term, these words are perfect to use for vocabulary work! You can also use any other words you find in the story. As students find unfamiliar vocabulary words, you can stop and work on these words together using this vocabulary graphic organizer. When all the pages are complete, you can put them together into a Lemonade Words booklet. I have included a cover for this vocabulary booklet, too!

I have added this lemonade craft and vocabulary booklet to my Free Resource Library. If you aren’t an email subscriber yet, you can sign up here.

You can find The Lemonade War on Amazon.

      I just looked into this and it shows that the email was delivered, but not opened. Is there a chance it is in your junk/spam folder? Sometimes school district emails block these messages from being delivered to your inbox. If that doesn’t work, I can try to send the message again.

    Love this craft idea! Signed up as my daughter is reading this as a distance learning project, but the craft didn’t come through. Have checked all spam and isn’t anywhere in my inboxes. Any ideas? Such a cute activity!

        The link takes me to the resource library but the actual lemonade craft isn’t there. I see 20 other free resources but not this particular resource that I’m looking for. Does that make sense? I’m not sure if there is another place to look or if I’m doing something wrong.

          Hi Laura,
          So you’re only seeing 20 resources in the Free Resource Library? That’s so strange! Are you accessing the library via computer or phone?
          I’ll move the Lemonade War resource closer to the top for now while I look into why all of the resources aren’t showing.
          Please let me know if you have any other questions.

At school, Monique wore a uniform every single day. But looking just like everyone else was not for her. One day, she found a huge, red hat in a trunk in the attic and decided she’d wear it to school. Everyone noticed her and had something to say, which made Monique smile…until a teacher told her she had to take off the hat. 

The next day, everyone at school was wearing a hat - everyone except Monique, who was already planning something new to wear the following day. With each new idea and accessory that makes Monique unique comes a series of kids who copy and mimic her style. Can she find a way to be different?

This book is often hard to find, but has a great message about individuality and celebrating that it’s okay to be different! Have you read this one yet?

I may introduce a lot of books to you here on the I may introduce a lot of books to you here on the gram, but sometimes YOU are the ones who introduce books to me. This is one of those stories.

Sarah lives alone in her little house now that her children are all grown up. Every time she looks out her window, she sees the neighborhood children waiting for the bus. One winter morning she notices a boy who doesn’t have mittens. This worries her, so she gathers some supplies and sets out to knit him a new pair. Once finished, she hangs them on the tree next to the bus stop. 

When the boy finds the mittens the next day, he quickly tries them on and beams at their perfect fit. Sarah’s heart is filled with joy and it isn’t long before she makes even more mittens to hang on the tree. The kids look forward to finding these new treasures each morning at the bus stop. Sarah is sure that no one knows it is her adding to the mitten tree until one day she returns home and finds a surprise waiting for her - a basket filled with beautiful balls of yarn.

This heartwarming story has a great message about kindness, community, and the joy that comes from helping others. It would make a great addition to your winter book collection!

I might share a lot of picture books, but I do lov I might share a lot of picture books, but I do love chapter books, too. One of my favorites for January is Mr. Popper’s Penguins. While this story has been around for decades, it still manages to entertain readers of all ages. ⁣
⁣
If you aren’t familiar, Mr. Popper is a housepainter who daydreams about polar expeditions. One day he receives a real penguin and his world turns upside down. Soon after the penguin grows lonely and the Poppers add a second penguin to their home. It isn’t long before they have 10 penguin chicks, making that 12 penguins in all! With so many mouths to feed, Mr. Popper realizes he will have to do something to bring in more money. That’s when Popper’s Performing Penguins gets started. The show goes on tour and plenty of hilarious antics begin!⁣
⁣
I used this book with some of my reading groups in both 2nd and 3rd grade with the help of a few resources to guide students through the text (comprehension questions for each chapter, vocabulary activities, graphic organizers, and more). There’s also a penguin craft, which was a big hit! This resource is available in my TPT store. Drop a 🐧 in the comments or send me a DM if you’d like the link. ⁣

Have you ever felt like you don’t quite fit in? Have you ever felt like you don’t quite fit in? Or maybe you’ve let the opinions of others creep into your mind  and start to doubt yourself? If so, I think you should read Lone Wolf.⁣
⁣
In this story, Maple is a member of the Parker family. She loves playing tug-of-war with Jax, reading with Avery, getting treats, and going for looooooooong walks. But wherever she goes, people comment that she looks more like a wolf than a dog. The Parkers explain the difference between a husky and a wolf, but Maple starts to have her doubts. ⁣
⁣
One day, Maple sees the fence open and takes her chance to explore the wild as a lone wolf. Will Maple love this new lifestyle, or will she realize that home with the Parkers is where she truly belongs? ⁣
⁣
This charming story explores family, self-doubt, and finding the place where you belong. It would be a great story to share in the classroom or at home.⁣

When do students head back to school in your area?
It’s 2023! 🥳⁣ ⁣ Are you making goals or r It’s 2023! 🥳⁣
⁣
Are you making goals or resolutions? Maybe you’ve chosen to focus on one little word instead. No matter how you’re setting yourself up for success in the new year, having a plan is only the first step. One way to get your students excited for making resolutions is to help them understand what a resolution is. I love using the book, Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution. ⁣
⁣
In this story, Squirrel hears about making New Year’s resolutions on the radio, but she doesn’t know what they are. She visits her friends to find out what they resolve to do in the new year. Bear wants to help others learn to read. Porcupine decides to be less grumpy. What will Squirrel choose for her resolution? ⁣
⁣
Looking for a way to help kids keep their resolutions in mind long after the first week back in school? Try adding a craft. Not only are they fun for kids to make, but when they are on display, kids will have a visual reminder of their hopes and goals for the year. Swipe to take a peek at one to pair with this book. This craft can be found in my TPT store (send me a DM or comment below if you’d like me to send you the link).⁣

What are your favorite books to start off the new year?
