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!
