Learning by Chocolate

We did a fun study all about chocolate, and finished up with some hands on learning at a local Chocolatier.
We read a book about chocolate and worked on a lap book. 




Now, for some taste testing at The Cocoa Tree.


 


Truffles!  Yum!




A delicious treat!  We learned some geography (Central America), Ancient history(Mayans), science (cacao tree, pollination, cacao beans), harvesting, processing, creating, and eating...all from a little chocolate!

A few days later H came up with this joke:  "mom, what is a cow's favorite tree?
"a Cacao (CACOW) tree!  :)
