Pam Brooks’ second-graders at Cushing School now know that maple syrup is not just something sweet that comes in a jar and goes over pancakes. They found out by “hands on” learning how hard it is to manufacture the sweet stuff, and had fun doing it at the same time. Each student tapped a tree in what the children called their own little “maple grove.” They drilled a hole, put a hook in it and hung a spile with a bucket, Twice a day for nearly two weeks they walked about a mile and a half to collect the sap that had accumulated. The trips were made early in the morning and afternoon.
