🎯 READY, AIM, REVIEW! 🖤💛

Who says test review has to be boring?!

Mrs. Amyx’s 6th grade Science students put their knowledge to the test with a little POP-DARTS competition! 🎯

Students took turns aiming for points while reviewing important concepts for their upcoming science test! A little friendly competition made for a whole lot of learning!

We love seeing our Giants engaged, having fun, and getting ready to show what they know! 💛🖤
