We were excited to welcome members of the Bullitt East FFA to Old Mill as they partnered with our 4th grade students for a meaningful, real-world learning experience!
Our students took on the role of young scientists, diving into mystery plant and animal cases. They worked to identify problems related to structures and survival, then developed well-thought-out solutions to address each situation.
With the support and presence of our FFA guests, students had the opportunity to share their thinking, explain their reasoning, and present their plans to an authentic audience. Experiences like this not only strengthen understanding, but also build confidence and communication skills.
We are proud of our 4th graders for the way they rose to the challenge and grateful to Bullitt East FFA for investing their time in our students and helping bring learning to life!
