Andes Central Teacher Spotlight ~ Mrs. Brenda DeHaan

5A had some holiday writing fun! 🎄✏️
Students wrote quick story starters using holiday-themed words, then rotated papers a few times to add on to their classmates’ ideas. The room was filled with creativity and lots of laughter, and the final stories were so fun to read—what a great way to celebrate the season! 🎄📚

Ms. Janish's kindergarten students played a team game to practice comparing numbers and sets. We're getting good at comparing and telling if sets are more, less, greater than, or equal!





First graders had so much fun decorating their milk carton gingerbread houses. There was lots of creativity, big smiles, and just a little bit of icing everywhere. It was the perfect hands-on activity to celebrate the season and make classroom memories.
