Keller's first grade class at Terra Verde has decided that they want to have dramatic play area outside. They want the area to be an animal hospital. The class decided to host a lemonade stand during Brain Break one Friday to raise the funds needed to build the animal hospital. Despite the cold, the lemonade stand was a huge hit, and the first graders raised over $200 for their animal hospital. It was pretty cool because they learned about science (making lemonade and measuring), counting change (math), and good people skills (hosting and delivering drinks and snacks), among other things I can't think of right now. Keller continues to be so happy at Terra Verde. It is such a joy that we get to send him to this awesome school.
