October 25-29

 PTMS Wildcats,

     We hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend.  PTMS had a great week with a lot of amazing things to highlight.  Below are just a few of the amazing activities that took place last week...

-Students in all grades had a plank challenge during PE.  Do you know what the best time was for a PTMS student?  Look at the pictures below to see who set the record for their grade level. 

-Our 5th-grade students completed an experiment to investigate/determine the mass, weight, and volume of five different types of balls.  After calculating the mass, weight, and volume, the students calculated the density and determine whether each type of ball sank or floated. 

-We also had students in 6th-grade investigating pumpkins as they were carved.   Do any of the physical characteristics (such as height, circumference, or weight) help to predict the number of seeds inside of a pumpkin?

-Our 7th-grade students solved mathematical and real-world problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of both integers and signed rational numbers.

-Our 8th-grade students were assigned a role as defense or prosecutor. Students had to use evidence from the text to support their arguments.

We look forward to carrying this momentum into this week at PTMS. Also, this week is Red Ribbon Week. PTMS students will take part in different activities that help promote safe-healthy drug free choices.
