After reading
the books, "Hershey's Kisses Addition Book" and "Hershey's
Kisses Subtraction Book," Mrs. Hicks' class used caramel kisses
and milk chocolate kisses to create fact families. The students
then recorded their fact families on a template created by their
teacher using a program called
MaxWrite. As a class,
the students created a
powerpoint using MaxShow
to explain about fact families.

Using Hershey
Mini Candy Bars, students chose their favorite candy bar and
created a graph in Excel with the assistance of MaxCount. The
students wrote about their graphs, finding information such as:
Most of the
class voted for Hershey’s Chocolate.
Two more
students voted for Dark Chocolate than Krackle.
We learned
all about how chocolate is made from the Hershey’s web page and
created a Rags to Riches quiz through Quia. Check out
Mrs. Hicks’ web page to test your skills.
