Week 4- Sep. 3rd-6th

 Tuesday September 3rd

We started our day by sharing all of the fun things we did over the weekend and practiced taking turns by listening to other friends share before we shared our story.  We then combined our two previously learned handwriting buddies, Stanley stick and Lenny line, to make a plus sign and practiced how to make the new buddy by writing in the air.  We then started talking about the letter Ee and made a huge list of words that start with Ee.  

During Religion, we started talking about the virtue of love.  We read the story of Jesus blessing the children and talked about how a blessing is a special prayer given to someone.  

We ended our day with a fun science experiment/craft.  We filled a writing tray with shaving cream and food coloring and made marbled paper eggs to celebrate learning the letter Ee.




Wednesday September 4th
Today the students had a substitute for the first time.  I was home sick and missed the students very much.  While I was gone, students continued to work on the letter Ee and how to make a plus sign.
During Religion, they practiced all of their recall skills and learned a new rhyme that talked about how special we are to God.

Thursday September 5th
We started talking about the letter Ff today and the students managed to fill the board with words on the first day.  You may notice a few words that start with "ph" and that led to a conversation about how those are special words because they try to play tricks on us with their sounds.

We also made sure to celebrate our Chiefs spirit today and most students wore their KC Chiefs gear to show off.

We finished our day by celebrating a classroom birthday with some Spongebob popsicles.  All of the students enjoyed the sweet, yet sour, treat.

Friday September 6th
Today was fun Friday so we started our day with some PE class with Miss Jay and Mrs. Nikki.  The students were split into two groups and played "Duck, Duck, Goose" or completed an obstacle course to practice some gross motor skills.




We finished up our story about Jesus blessing the children with an animated version of the story to help students visualize a little more what the story looked like.
We finished our talk about the letter Ff with a craft.  Students used markers to color their paper plate fish and worked on using multiple colors within our artwork.


Next week, we will be talking about ways that God made us to be special, working on our circle skills, and discussing the letters Gg and Hh.

  Where do i even begin?  I want to thank all of the parents for helping your child be successful in this first "week" of school!  I am so proud of all of my students for how quickly they have adapted to this next adventure!  I will post on our classroom website once a week (I will try to have the weekly post up by Saturday evenings).  I will also try to do a better job of taking pictures during activities so that you as parents can have a better look into our classroom. Wednesday August 14th The students were filled with both excitement and nervousness so our first day was much more relaxed.  The main goal for the day was for the students to get a feel for the classroom, as well as getting to know their fellow classmates and making new friends.  We successfully made it through our first ever morning meeting where we discuss the days of the week, month, weather, and do a morning prayer.  The whole class was attentive and participated!  A huge...

  Monday August 19th Monday we started talking about all of our curriculum work.  We introduced Larry the letter lion to help us reviewing and introducing our handwriting buddies.  We talked all about Stanley stick and how he starts at the top and goes straight down to the bottom.  We also talked about the letter A and made a list of words that all start with the a sound. During religion class, we talked about the Bible and what it is made up of.  We then talked about Jesus and who he is and what his mission on Earth was (spreading God's love).  The students met our classroom stuffed Jesus and got to see where to find him in our classroom.   After recess, we had a popsicle party to celebrate a friend in Miss Nikki's class who had a birthday, as well as his sister in our class.  We then started in on our emotion lesson by reading "A Little Scribble Spot" and talking about what colors match each emotion.  We then finished our day with our ...

  Hello preschool families!  I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! My name is Miss Harley Hagenhoff and this is my first year teaching!  I recently graduated from Missouri Valley College in December of 2023 with a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education.  Before that, I graduated from Helias Catholic High School in May of 2020.  I am the oldest of 7 kids and have two fur babies, Dakota and Elsa.  If I am not in the classroom, I am typically finding some sort of craft to do or playing with my puppies! There are a few things that I would like to share with parents so that they have it for their own information.  As a preschool, we use the "Story of God's Love" series for our religion to share stories of the bible in a way that is designed for children.  For social and emotional growth, we use "A Little Spot of Emotions and Feelings" to teach children about their emotions in a healthy way.  Within my classroom, we use a phonics a...
