At Old Mill, we believe learning should be engaging, and our teachers bring that vision to life every day! This week, our 5th graders had a blast subtracting fractions thanks to interactive games woven into their math lessons. Seeing students excited about problem-solving and fully engaged in learning is what it’s all about!
Next week is a busy one! Make sure you check out Mrs. Joiners weekly update! 💙
