La cabane à sucre:






On Wednesday April 1, the GS, CP and CE1 went on a field trip to the Jillson’s Sugar House in Sabattus. When we arrived, delicious pancakes and fresh maple syrup were waiting for us…what a treat !
We went into the sugar house with Mr. Jillson and learned about the whole process…and we even saw a bear skin !
After that, we went through the farm with Nancy who showed us baby rabbits, a horse, chickens, pigs, a very cuddly goose, sheep and a little lamb. Then, we went into the sugar bush and saw the maple trees from where the sap is taken.
We had a really fun-filled day !
