Hooray for Chocolate Day - The sweetest yet!

Chocolate Day was sweet!!!!!  We learned all about how chocolate is grown on trees!  The cacao beans start out in a big football-sized pod.  Then they are picked, dried, and ground into a cocoa powder before they are mixed with milk and sugar to make the delicious chocolate we now know.  
We made chocolate-dipped pretzels with Mrs. McKee, played games  and did math with chocolate M&Ms, read stories about chocolate, and even did our spelling in chocolate pudding!  What a delicious,(and somewhat messy) day!!!
