I met one of my students for two brief sessions. We started recognizing the letter W as the letter in the word weather. Our discussion took us to focus on maple trees and that is where we are now. I am documenting interaction and lesson plans at FaceTime Toddler Homeschool OKC/MASS CCC.
Our short interaction with the subject of maple trees-due to the love my student has for maple syrup-is shown the reality that some farmers in the Northeast of the USA are replacing milk production with sugar maple for their livelihood and as a positive avenue to prevent climate change. A little extra video research on the subject of how climate change is affecting the sugar maple reveals that the window of time for tapping sugar maples has become shorter due to climate change.
