The second grade classrooms walked to Fresh Pond a couple weeks ago to begin the processing of tapping the maple trees. All the students met with the Ranger, and learned about the process and finished by drilling holes and placing collection buckets on a few trees at Kingsley Park. Teams of second graders will travel back to the trees over the next few weeks to bring back the sap in buckets, using our little red wagon. The sap is then boiled down to make maple syrup. The goal is to make enough syrup for pancakes for the 2nd grade family pancake breakfast to be held later this Spring!
