Name recognition and name writing is a very important part of Mrs. Derry's Preschool class. Here is one example of how we work on our names. Most mornings students practice writing their names with dry erase markers. Some students copy the letters while others have accomplished writing their first name and now are working on their last names.
Congrats Hunter, Garth, Dalton, and Riley!

On Monday, Cory Greenwood & his team presented to Andes Central staff & students. He spoke with the MS/HS about suicide. Teens are struggling to find a sense of belonging. Now, more than ever, empowering and encouraging our youth to rise above their current circumstances is vitally important. Students left the assembly with a renewed self-image and the resilience to handle adversity. They will be empowered to take responsibility for the solution instead of focusing on the problem. He also spoke with Elementary students about kindness. Every student is unique and has gifts and talents that are valuable. Students will be challenged and empowered to use what they have to help those around them. To be the heroes in their classrooms, homes, friend groups, etc.
The 5th grade classes played a fun game of Kahoot to review the water cycle.

Mr. Cole Johnson's 8th graders are learning how to relate constant rate of change and proportional relationships to slope while showing the data in a graph. In this activity the 8th grade students measured the distance the car went while tracking the total time it took the car. Then the students found the distance per second and used different representations such as equation and graph. Using these two representations the students were able to calculate how far the car would travel after so many seconds, minutes, and hours.
