Even though it was a half-day today, we were busy this morning! Yesterday we watched and discussed a couple of videos about how to identify maple trees in the winter. We also looked at all the tools and materials needed to tap trees. As part of our How-to unit in writing, we figured out the steps for tapping a tree. Some students chose to write How-to Tap a Tree books. Today, we went through the steps as we tapped our first tree. It was definitely a collaborative effort. We can't wait to collect our sap and boil it down.
