Chocolate Blog
Our Blog focuses on three areas.
Chocolate Education: We are not educators in an official capacity. However, we are parents, and we believe that successful education depends on engagement. The subject of chocolate is instantly engaging and fun, and because of the instant buy-in from students, many other lessons can seamlessly integrate. Chocolate is the perfect segway into many topics, including but limited to (chemistry, math, economics, and history. If appropriately planned, using chocolate as the anchor for a lesson plan can engage a class the week before, the week of, and the week after. Kids perform their best when they anticipate something fun, especially if they know they'll get rewarded in the end with chocolate they either make or earn. It's just a fact; chocolate works excellent as an educational tool.
Chocolate Resource: We take pride in being a chocolate resource.
