We also read an Abenaki tale, as told by Joseph Bruchac, called Gluskabe and the Maple Trees. The children remembered that these tales are told not only to entertain, but to teach. Some lessons that the children came away with are that hard work pays off, patience leads to happiness, and that people shouldn't abuse what they have.
Tomorrow the children will learn why abolitionists boycotted cane sugar. Small groups will make Maple Bread, and if you can donate a day of ingredients, please sign up here.
