The Bais Yaakov Academy of Queens sixth grade is learning about a topic close to many of our hearts – chocolate (okay, also about percents...). When Mrs. Lindell inquired as to who likes chocolate, many girls said they did. On a quest to prove that they really do like chocolate (Mrs. Lindell claims not to believe them), they sampled 100% chocolate (very bitter), 85% chocolate, 55% chocolate, and milk chocolate with 38% cocoa solids (absolutely delish). The students learned a lot about chocolate, percents, and reading ingredients. Whether or not they like chocolate or sugar (or sugar-flavored chocolate or chocolate-flavored sugar) is still up for debate.
