Field Experiences

  • Learning Out in the World- Field Work 

    At Sitton 小学, we believe in the transformative power of field experiences, recognizing them as essential components of a well-rounded education. Throughout the academic year, every grade level participates in three fieldwork experiences (field trips, 专家小组, 表演, or fairs) designed to complement our core curriculum in literacy, 数学, 社会研究, 或科学. These excursions serve as invaluable opportunities for students to apply their classroom learning in real-world contexts, fostering the development of critical thinking skills and deepening their understanding of academic concepts.

    外学者, field experiences also play a crucial role in fostering joy, building community, and strengthening connections between students and their surroundings. Whether exploring local ecosystems, visiting historical landmarks, or engaging with experts in various fields, students develop a sense of curiosity and appreciation for the world around them. These experiences not only enrich their education but also instill a sense of pride and belonging within our school community.

    然而, to continue providing these enriching opportunities, we rely on the support of our community. 通过资助, fundraising efforts, and individual donations, we can ensure that every student has access to meaningful field experiences that enhance their education and inspire lifelong learning. We invite you to join us in this important endeavor by considering a donation today. 在一起, we can empower our students to thrive academically, 社会, and personally through the power of experiential learning.
