This morning the boys and I drilled 9 holes and attached 9 buckets to some schoolyard - (and close by the school) maples to collect sap for Spring sugaring.  The sap was not flowing in the morning, but by the end of the day it had started on a couple of the trees - a sure sign of spring!

We are looking forward to another year of sugaring as a family and I am looking forward to sharing this activity in class with my kindergarten students!
