Experiential Learning is FUN

Today was quite a day at the Sweetsir School with lots of experiential learning taking place!  Our second graders walked to the Donaghue School for a tour of their future school.  Principal Robert Harrison welcomed them and gave an overview of what to expect when they return next year as third graders.  Our first graders visited the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary and participated in a workshop about the insects and plants along the shores.  This was an extension of a science unit taking place in the classroom. Preschoolers were visited by the Merrimac Firefighters and given an opportunity to ride on the fire truck!  Learning is FUN at the Sweetsir School!



Thank you to the Merrimac Firefighters!  The Preschoolers loved seeing the truck and learning more about the apparatus used to keep us safe!  The children rode in the truck as Ms. Patty pulled the horn!
