More Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...

Seriously the best read aloud ever!  Of course what does a teacher suggest?  Everyone bring in something made of chocolate to share while we play Jeopardy and then watch the movie?!?

2 tables of chocolate fit for 2 classes and yes we were on chocolate overload but it was so well worth it!

I loved reading each day and watching their faces light up with the increasing adventures. We broke out the buzzers to play Jeopardy regarding the book.  It was amazing to listen to the answers and the details they could recall.  

Fun times answering the Jeopardy questions.

Funny story Kaleb went to the doctor and through some talking the doctor asked what is your favorite book.  Caleb immediately said "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" funny right coming from a 6 year old and very few pictures. No problem we created them in our mind before we ever watched the movie.  Just love when they spread their inspiration to others.

Yes you are right we found the Golden Ticket.  I just love reading this story and seeing the excitement day after day.  Chocolate Day is going to be EPIC! 

Chocolate Day

Each year I read Charlie & the Chocolate Factory to my class during the month of October.  They enjoy listening to the adventures of Charlie as he makes his way through Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.  On the last Friday of the month we celebrate Chocolate Day.  Each child is asked to bring in something chocolate and be creative.  Well this class outdid themselves!  For the 1st time we had chocolate fondue! Make sure to check out the Smilebox with all the lovely pictures of the day.  We mined for chocolate chips, taste tested the Hershey's assortment.  Hershey original beat out the Krackle, Mr. Goodbar, and Hershey's Special Dark by a landslide.  favorites included the chocolate milk, white chocolate dipped pretzel skeleton fingers, chocolate covered marshmallows, and homemade fudge! We even had a Jeopardy game with questions from the book.  Everyone was a winner!  The movie was FABULOUS! It was even more exciting to hear the kids compare the book to the movie and remember the slightest details.  Big thank you to Ms. Cindi, Mrs. Horner, Mr. & Mrs. Creech, and Jordan's grandma for helping out throughout the day.  Thank you to all the families that made the day a success.
