What the one thing that sweetens up mud season...Maple Syrup!
All Vermonters, even the youngest ones can cultivate gratitude for the land we live on. Learning how Maple Trees give us sap for making syrup is a perfect March lesson. If you follow this series of pictures you will see us: learning about identifying Maple Trees, participating in tapping a tree, collecting sap, and making and eating pancakes. We were joined by Ms. Bauman's second grade class for all of this because both classes had an interested in taking our learning outdoors. If you're wondering, we did talk a lot about the boiling (40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup), but it happened off site...in my kitchen! Sorry we couldn't share the pancakes with you, but please enjoy the photos.
