Sticky learning has sugary results Children’s Meeting House Montessori School held a maple sugaring festival at which fourththrough sixth-graders shared the maple sugaring process with their families and the greater Loveland community. Students taught attendees about the history of maple sugaring and how native peoples used hot stones to boil sap into syrup. Students demonstrated how maple sap is collected by tapping trees and the process used to make maple syrup. Most people were surprised to learn that it takes 40 gallons of maple tree sap to get just one delicious gallon of maple syrup. The event culminated in a pancake and maple syrup breakfast with more than 500 pancakes being served. Families and friends from the community were able to sample and enjoy different grades of pure maple syrup to find which type they preferred. The students tap trees on the expansive campus of Children’s Meeting House. This year, the students collected more than 70 gallons of maple sap, resulting in about two gallons of syrup. “The learning process alone makes the small syrup return worth it. The children have a deep understanding of the whole process and it’s history,” teacher John Phenix said. “I only wish the weather had been colder and brought a bit of snow for maple syrup icees! Maybe next time.”
