Jr. High art wood burnings!
🍁 4th Grade Sugar Bushing at the School Forest 🍁
Our 4th graders recently experienced the incredible tradition of maple tapping at the School Forest! This hands-on learning opportunity brought together School Forest Teachers and 4th Grade Teachers, working in partnership to connect students with both understanding how to measure the crown of a tree and the science of tree identification. 🌳🍂
During the experience, students:
🍁 Explored Ojibwe phenology, learning how seasonal changes signal the right time for tapping
🌲 Identified trees and gathered data to determine which were best for tapping
📏 Measured crown of a tree to ensure sustainable maple syrup production
A huge thank you to our special guests from White Earth Education & Natural Resources for sharing their knowledge and guiding students through this process:
✨ Bob Shimek - WETCC Extension Offie
✨ Dana Trickey - White Earth 4H
✨ Jason Clark - White Earth Natural Resources Parks and Recreation
✨ Chris McDougall - White Earth Natural Resources Parks and Recreation Technician
Since maple syrup production is rare and only possible in a few states, this was a unique and meaningful experience for our students. By blending cultural traditions with scientific exploration, we’re ensuring that future generations can continue to learn from and care for our forests. 🌿🍁

🍁 8th Grade Sugar Bushing at the School Forest 🍁
Our 8th graders recently experienced the incredible tradition of maple tapping at the School Forest! This hands-on learning opportunity brought together School Forest Teachers and 8th Grade Teachers, working in partnership to connect students learning to standards in math and science to maple tapping. 🌳🍂
During the experience, students:
🍁 Took a sit spot moment, making 3 notices and 3 wonders, then framing one into a hypothesis
🌲 Applied ratios to estimate tree height
🌿 Examined the crown of trees, including those tapped by 5th graders
📏 Measured the volume of a tree, first reviewing instructions before heading out for hands-on calculations
🥾 Went on a nature walk, comparing coniferous and deciduous trees, observing competition in nature, and noting seasonal changes
