News & Announcements

(12/6): Our air-mazing sixth grade scientists created breath-taking models of the respiratory system to understand how our lungs work—and let me tell you, their work was truly lungsational!
Using balloons, straws, and a little science magic, students crafted working models of lungs that show how we inhale (yay oxygen!) and exhale (bye-bye carbon dioxide!). There were some hiccups (pun intended!) along the way, but that’s how science works: trial, error, and discovery.
Ask your student to explain their model—they might just blow you away with their knowledge about diaphragms and bronchi.

(12/6): Our sixth grade scientists explored the world of classification with a tasty twist! During our Snackification activity, students grouped a variety of snacks—like gummy worms, pretzels, and popcorn—by their shared traits to learn how scientists organize living things.
The classroom was filled with questions like, “Do chips and crackers belong together?” and some bold theories about the “evolution” of gummies. Of course, we responsibly enjoyed our “research” once the sorting was done!
Ask your scientist which snack was their favorite discovery!

(12/5): Some of PMS ELA teachers attend the MS Literacy Conference this week.

(12/4): Mrs. Brumley’s fifth grade science students have been studying forces all of this 9 weeks. Students created air-powered cars or rockets out of drink bottles donated by parents (thank you again). They used these vehicles to demonstrate non-contact forces. They finished up their unit this week by “Toying with Forces”. The spent some time playing with some retro toys then determined which forces were at “play” with their favorite toy.

(12/4): The PMS Beginner Band, consisting of sixth graders, marched in the Pontotoc Christmas Parade this week. They played Jingle Bells to welcome the holiday spirit down Main Street. Great job, Warriors!
