❄️ STEM Snowball Fight in Mr. Sapp’s Class! ❄️ While everyone is watching the forecast for snow, Mr. Sapp’s class brought the snowstorm indoors with a STEM-themed Snowball Fight! ☃️ As part of their review on States of Matter, students faced off in this fun and educational activity. "Frozen" students could only rejoin the action by answering review questions from a Gimkit led by student facilitators. It was a flurry of fun and learning! 🎯📚 Who needs snow days when your classroom brings the storm? Fantastic work, Mr. Sapp’s class! 💡🎉 #STEMFun #SnowballFight #StatesOfMatter #LearningMadeFun #STEMEducation
