Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sievert,
Thank you for teaching us how to put the vine in the tree. I laurned how to make sap into syrup. thank you for showing us around. My favoerit thing was learning what the boiling syrup tempucher was. At night it was 20 degrees in the day it was 40 degrees. Thats cool to lauren. The maple syrup looked good and smells good. I think the colors of the maple syrup look cool, preitty and good.

Density

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sievert,
Thank you for inviting us and teaching us about maple syrup. Thanks for teaching us that the syrup need to be boiled 20 degrees at night and a 40 degrees day. Also, that 40 galons of sap fills 1 gal. of syrup. Also, that clar sap is cold and darker sap is warm. The tap of the tree has to go at a difrent hight.
Thank you,
Alex

Arcadia, March 2003

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sievert,
Thank you for teaching me about maple syrrup. You tought me a lot of facts. We found out that the tree was 13 feet around. I had a lot of fun. A thing that I learned was the sap can change color when it gets hotter. Another thing I learned was to get the best running sap it has to be 20degrees F at night and 40 degrees F at day. The density of maple syrup has to be just right. I never kne that sap can get red, yellow or clear. I thought there was only orange. Also I couldn't believe that big green tank could hold 325 gallons of sap. Thank you.
Sincearly,
Sean

Tapping the Tree

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sievert,
Thank you for the syrup. I can't wait to eat it. One fact I learned about syrup is if you boil sap it will equall syrup. Another one is it needs to be about 20 degrees at night and fourty at day for the sap to run.
