(9/6): The students and teachers at PMS are showing off their Warrior Spirit this week. Good Luck Warriors! Go! Fight! Win!

(9/6): Students in my EL classes are learning morphemes. This week is scop/scope, which means see or watch. The students decorated paper towel rolls to make a “scope.” Then, they used their scopes to see items in the room and play “I Spy.”

(9/6): Congrats to these PMS Positive Praise students! They are positive leaders in our building who possess the characteristics of Warriors of Distinction!

(9/6): In 6th grade Ag class, our students turned up the heat by taste-testing a variety of peppers grown from seed by last year's AG students —from mild bell peppers to fiery habaneros. Armed with the Scoville scale, they bravely graded each pepper by its Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Let's just say, some students found out firsthand why the habanero comes with a warning label! 🌶️🔥 Then after surviving Monday's pepper taste test, the 6th grade Ag class on Wednesday put their new knowledge to good use by whipping up some pico de gallo on Tuesday—using the very produce they grew from seed last year! Who knew a little homegrown jalapeño could bring tears of joy and...maybe a little extra sweat? 🌶️🍅😅🔥

(9/5): In 6th grade science, we're making learning about cell organelles fun and engaging with whole-brain learning! Students use hands-on activities, colorful visuals, and games to help remember the tiny parts of a cell. By using both their creative and thinking sides, they're discovering how organelles work together to keep cells going strong!
