We are so excited that you have agreed to participate in the "5 Minutes Per Week" project. The project will take approximately 6 weeks to complete. You will be exploring and learning a lot about The Catholic Social Teachings as well as how chocolate is made.

Please feel free to contact any of us if you have any suggestions or questions. Your feedback will help our project grow. Don't hesitate to let us know how you are progressing or to share your comments.

For kids in Kindergarten through 6th grade, please contact Elizabeth to obtain a paper copy (or to learn how to access it via the net) of the activity book.  If you're in 7th grade or above, click onto the cocoa icon on the left side of the page now to begin.
 
Try to schedule one day a week (the same day every week if possible) to do the fun assignment.) Some families have found that making this a Sunday family activity works very well.

Thanks a lot for your interest and time. Enjoy learning about the journey of the cocoa bean from West Africa to the U.S.A.! Be creative and have fun.
