Our adventure over the next couple of weeks will be CHOCOLATE! Join us on a quest to find the ingredients used to make this delicious treat! Before we begin this adventure, think about what you already know about chocolate. Write a few things down that come to mind. Then, think about what you want to know about this treat. For example, we are wondering how to make chocolate. What is in it? Can I find all of the ingredients at the grocery store? Take a moment to write down some of your questions.
Are you ready to begin this adventure? Let's go! Chocolate makes everything better!
We will be taking six different adventures together. Each journey will last for two weeks. After each adventure, the Title 1 crew will post a special passport stamp to represent our journey together. You can print out the stamp and glue it into the visa section of your passport or you can create your own drawing to represent our journey together. There will be one stamp for each of the six spots on your visa.
Let the journey begin...
Print out your passport and come join us on an adventure!
