News & Announcements

(11/27): Eighty-four PMS students danced the afternoon away as a reward for having perfect attendance during October. The students enjoyed the music while they danced in the halls. We are so proud of these Warriors!

(11/27): 5th grade UFO students combined art and math using tessellations. A tessellation is a repeated pattern with no gaps or overlaps. (Artist MC Escher was a master at tessellations.) After learning about the 3 different types of tessellations , students created their own tessellations.

(11/27): The PMS band students did an outstanding job at the fall concert a few weeks ago. They have worked hard all semester to learn how to play their instruments and read music. You can listen to them next week at the Pontotoc Christmas Parade on Monday, December 4 at 6 pm.

(11/17): These students have exemplified positive characteristics in the classrooms and halls this week. Congrats to these Warriors of Distinction!

(11/17): As part of our Kindness campaign we are having a “Can Food Drive” and these items will be donated to our local food pantry. Fifth grade students have currently contributed more canned goods than sixth grade. This is ongoing until December 15. Let's see how many carts we can fill with these canned goods!

(11/17): PMS is full of thankful hearts. The students wrote reasons that they are thankful and teachers displayed all the reasons on the turkey. PMS admin showed various ways of gratitude toward teachers and staff this week. On Friday, they prepared pancakes and sausage because no one stacks up to PMS teachers! Teachers are thankful for our appreciative leaders.

(11/17): Mrs. Brumley's classes are loving our new dry erase desk. Thanks! Mrs, Hillhouse.

(11/17): Students in Mrs. Brumley's fifth grade science class have been learning the effects of forces on various objects during our science lab this week.
They also have been using friction (various materials) to slow down our toy cars.

(11/15): Enjoying the weather while learning!! Mrs. Tutor's sixth grade ELA focus group completed a carousel outside by answering assessment questions. We have been working on test taking strategies, so they are using what they have learned to answer the questions.

(11/14): Ms. Swain and Mrs. Whitworth's Science classes take supporting and reinforcing ELA seriously! Our unit currently is Human Body Systems. Students read an article as an introduction and created a summary of the article based on the TAAMIO strategy. Using strategies such as this one gives the student a tool to remember and be successful when tackling ELA concepts. We often get the statement, "I thought this was Science class!!" We simply respond with, "Scientists must be able to read, analyze, synthesize texts in order to know and understand the accomplishments of past scientists and explain their own theories and discoveries." Our students are thinking like SCIENTISTS!
