Before the break began, I was a guest reader in Carter's classroom on the last day of school. I choose to read the new Christmas book by David Shannon and showed a picture of when I met him last summer. Then we did an experiment with the varying degrees of cacao in chocolate. The kids got a quick lesson on percentages and then we did a chocolate tasting with the different kinds of chocolate. There were a few who liked the darker chocolate (70%) but it was agreed collectively that 90% was GROSS! Kids were racing to the water fountain. One weird fact is that no where is it revealed how much cacao is in a hershey's kiss. We predicted due to taste and the research we did find that it has between 30-35% of cacao.
