Ms. Kaiser's afternoon classes took advantage of the nice weather and utilized the outdoor classroom. The students enjoyed getting some fresh air while getting some final third quarter work done.

The fifth graders have started brainstorming ideas for their next writing project. They will be writing a realistic fiction story, focusing on characters, settings, and events that could happen in real life. Students are writing their ideas and building on each other's thoughts as they plan their stories. Over the next few weeks, they will begin organizing their ideas and drafting their narratives.

No matter what the grade or age, cooperation and teamwork is encouraged in Andes Central PE classes. It's great to watch the collaboration and communication take place between students as they work to be successful as both individuals and teams!

Mrs. H's preschool class has been learning all about habitats. This week we have been exploring the rainforest. Throughout the week we have talked about the climate, what it looks like, what animals live there and where. Next week we will be exploring the Savanna. 

The Lakeview Colony students in the 5th-8th grade room followed the 2026 Winter Olympics that took place in Milan, Cortina. We had flags hanging in the hallway for each of the 92 countries that participated and kept track of each medal they won.
The students also incorporated math skills, reading, research, and writing to learn more about their favorite sports.

Reminder - Andes Central does not have school tomorrow, February 27th, as we have an Enhancement Day.
