Week 6- Sep. 16th-20th

 Monday September 16th

Today we started combining parts of our handwriting buddies together when talking about making a square.  We also started talking about the letter Ii and worked on making our word list.

During Religion, we read "Jesus as the Good Shepherd" from Stories of God's Love, which is the story of the one lost sheep from the Bible.  We briefly talked about how Jesus is a good shepherd and watches over all of us as if we are his sheep.  

At the end of the day, we finally finished our first book in the Magic Treehouse series and the students were so proud of themselves.


Tuesday September 17th

For phonics and handwriting time, we reviewed the correct way to make a square and used our magic writing fingers to practice.  We also reviewed the letter Ii and talked about the sound it makes because it can be super tricky.  

For Religion, we recalled the story from Monday and students worked together to make a list of people we can trust to take care of us, just like the shepherd took care of his sheep.



At the end of the day, we played educational games to practice taking turns and being kind to others.



Wednesday September 18th
We started our day off with all school mass.  I am so proud of how well all of the students behaved and we even got compliments from multiple teachers about how well we did.
After mass, we started talking about the letter Jj and making a word list.  During Religion, we made our own sheep to display in our classroom.




Thursday September 19th
During handwriting time, we practiced writing squares on the whiteboard and the students decided to add little hearts to the middle of their squares.  

We also had a Disney dance party after phonics and some of the students used it as their opportunity to practice their crab imitations.

Friday September 20th
Today was a review day during phonics and handwriting.  We reviewed how to make our different handwriting buddies that we have learned and also had a chance to practice identifying a few letters that we have been struggling with.

Remember that permission slips for the field trip on October 4th were sent home on Friday the 20th and are due back on the 27th.

  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...
