Throughout the book, Little House in the Big Woods, harvesting, making and eating maple
syrup is mentioned. This is an activity that involves all members of Laura's
family. Find one section of the book and write how important this sweetener is
to their diet. Think of a family activity that you do that involves more than
one generation and write three paragraphs about it. Go to a web site based on
maple syrup and write one thing you like to eat with it.

My class of third graders listened to this book as a daily read aloud. After visiting a website that contains an actual letter written by Laura Ingalls Wilder, my class will write a letter to a class of third graders in the year 2020. They will write about what subjects they study in school, about their school and some favorite things they like to do outside of class.
