(9/19): Congratulations to these 2021-22 Pontotoc Middle School students who scored PERFECT on the MAAP tests in May.

(9/19): The library activity that students in Mrs. Mason's class did this week was to prepare postcards for students to learn about our great state. Several students wrote the information about MS to send to the other fifty states. While others cut and taped the letter on the postcards, more students put return labels on them before they travel to the other schools. The students looked at the bulletin board with a few postcards that we have already received. The goal for this project is for our students to learn about all fifty states through exchanging postcards with other students.

(9/12): Mrs. Whitworth's 6th grade Ag class is studying Farm to Table. They have discovered that most of what we have, eat, or use have ingredients and/or parts that derive from agriculture products. This week they used produce from their gardens to make a really tasty salad. The ingredients from the garden included lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, habanero peppers, banana peppers, and onions. Mrs. Whitworth and Mrs. Swain provided the cheese, bacon bits, croutons, and salad dressing to top it off. The students decided eating fresh, healthy foods isn't so bad after all.

Many of these unicellular organisms live in aquatic environments. Mrs. Whitworth brought in pond water for students to take samples, create a slide, and observe under the microscope. One group discovered a paramecium and algae moving and interacting with one another! The excitement was high in Room 8 Monday morning!
