7th grade Math class is learning how to calculate circumference, area of circles, and given radius or diameter, they use a compass to draw the circle. They compare what they drew to the formulas used to find circumference and area.

The 6th graders in Mrs. Johnson’s Social Studies class are coloring their notebook title page to kick off their learning about Ancient China!

Mrs. Altenburg's eighth grade class takes advantage of the nice day by using the outdoor classroom as they design their star for the aesthetic committee. 

Kindergarten students have made so much progress this year!  They are practicing writing words with "th" and "sh" and are learning how to subtract by using cubes.  They are very proud of their skills!

Yesterday, the 7th grade class buddied up with the 4th graders to complete fraction puzzles. The 7th graders were amazing help when it came to adding fractions with unlike denominators to solve the puzzles!

Andes Central students enjoyed some St. Patrick's Day activities on Tuesday!

Mrs. Swanson's 3rd graders had a great time teaming up with their 6th grade buddies from Mr. Johnson's class on March 17th for some St. Patrick’s Day math fun! 🍀 Students played a “Rollin’ for Gold” game where they rolled two dice, multiplied the numbers, and moved along a chutes-and-ladders style board.
Afterward, buddies worked together to complete a multiplication color-by-code activity. It was awesome to see teamwork, encouragement, and math skills all in action!

First graders in Mrs. Hellenga's class have started learning how to tell time. They practiced their new skill by playing a partner game. It was a fun way to learn and work together. 

Mrs. Deurmier and Miss Ekroth took 15 students to Armour on March 18th to participate in the 2026 Prairie Reader Competition. These students competed against several surrounding schools.

Andes Central students did a great job with their performance of Missoula Children's Theatre "Hansel and Gretel" on Saturday!

Ms. Janish's kindergartners used a variety of activities to review addition. It was a fun way to work on math and social skills!

In Guidance, we have had an eventful quarter; we covered 7 Mindset lessons and activities for National School Choice Week, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Valentine's Day, and most recently, Read Across America Week. Students worked on creating gratitude "gardens" and handed these to family/friends/teachers who help them grow.

Relatedly, families can ask their children what they learned from reading The Lorax. We discussed how we can grow our creativity like Dr. Suess, how we care for our trees and wild friends, and, in return, how trees and furry friends can help us feel calm, safe, and focused! Keep a look out for more creative activities and 7 Mindset lessons coming home.
