Our Story

Welcome to our site! We are Joanne & Steve. After 20+ years working for a city school department and police department, we sold almost everything, bought an RV, and started living on the road with our three children. Joanne homeschooled and worked online. Over the years we worked for Jellystone Parks as well as volunteered. We stopped traveling after 7 years and bought a house. Steve continued police work with the National Park Service and Joanne taught Kindergarten. Now that our three kids are adults, we have decided to travel more and explore.

Cocoa


Today, we read the story All About Chocolate online through ReadingA-Z.com.  (Thanks KV)
ReadingA-Z is a subscription site with hundreds of leveled readers to print, or read right online in a projected format.  They do offer free downloads from time to time though.  It may be worth the subscription price if you get a few people to share the price, then share the password.  



After reading about bitter, unsweetened chocolate, I thought I'd have the kiddos try some Baker's Unsweetened bar and Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa.






We'll use it for baking another day.

Finished it all off with a Magic School Bus from DiscoveryEducation.com. (Thanks JC)
The students fly to the rainforest to see why Ms. Frizzle's cocoa (ka-kow) tree 
isn't producing cocoa pods.
