No homework, but I wanted to fill you in on Project Sweet Talk.
Students will bring home a guide to Project Sweet Talk to share with you.  Project Sweet Talk is when groups of students go out to the community and interview local sugarmakers.  We record the interview and make a movie.  Each sugarmaker tells a favorite story or memory and it is transcribed on a poster called, "In Their Own Words."  The students create a visual to share what has been learned also.  Maple Sugarin' in Vermont is read and the students write an informative piece of writing on sugaring.  All of this is shared on the Friday of Vermont's Maple Open House Weekend.  This year that date is April 1st.  Look for more information on this next week.
