Plan Ahead - learning about Maple Syrup in SK and Grade 1

The Anishinaabemowin Revival program at M’Chigeeng First Nation has put together two educational units about Maple Syrup for SK and Grade 1. A main goal of this program is to teach or reinforce Anishinnaabemowin, in the context of learning about Maple sap harvesting and the process of turning it into syrup.

The units include illustrated traditional stories translated both in Anishinaabemowin and English and mp3 files to hear the pronunciation in M’Chigeeng’s dialect.

Maple Syrup comes around in early Spring, but I share this in fall so that you can bookmark it in your plans for later!

Note that this site also includes other themes of Anishinaabemowin phrases to share with your students - for instance “After Summer Holidays” and “School Routines.”
