We had a wonderful walking field trip today to the Horvath's home to learn about the process involved in making maple syrup. There was a moment that it was like a picture book; sunny skies, a blanket spread out with 19 curious little minds sitting and listening to Mrs. Horvath read a book about maple sugaring, while sipping hot chocolate, and watching the wood smoke drift into the sky as the smell of boiling sap began to fill the air. What a fun day!
We got to see the sap flowing from the trees and even got to empty the sap buckets. Then we were treated to a little taste of fresh maple syrup before each getting our own little bottles and a great coloring book.
I was very proud of how respectful the entire class was and it was so much fun to watch them having such a great time. I hope that you all get to enjoy some pancakes, french toast or waffles this weekend.
Thank you to Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Patten for accompanying us on our walk today.
Thank you so much to the Horvath Family!
