Making homemade lemonade is easy peasy lemon squeezy! 🍋 Our 3, 4, and 5 year olds made fresh squeezed lemonade this week as we studied the letter L.

First, we used all five senses to investigate and describe our lemon wedges- cue the sour lemon faces. 🤣

Next, we each took turns squeezing a half of a lemon until it was time to measure our juice.

When we hit the 1 cup line, the class watched with excitement as we mixed in water and sugar to make a big ole pitcher of lemonade just like magic!

Each child was able to taste the fruits of their efforts (yes, pun intended) by sipping some ice cold fresh lemonade in the end. Nothing like a good team effort!

CURRENTLY ENROLLING! 🥳 Looking to join in the hands-on fun? We have a few spots remaining in our 4-5 year old class. Send us a message today, visit our website, or give us a call to schedule a tour!

⏰ There’s still time to join us for the current school year. We are enrolling for our 4 and 5 year old class held MWF 8:30-12:30.
