Week 10- Oct. 14th-18th

 Monday October 14th

Today we started with by learning how to combine lines and slants to make a triangle.  We also continued to say rhyming words and pick out the ending sound or the "rhyme".  We then moved on to learning the letter Qq and made our word list. Students even received a compliment from Mr. Veit about how well they could identify the rhyme in a word.

During religion, we read "God's Promise" from Stories of God's Love, which is the story of Noah's ark.  We practiced our recall skills and discussed how the rainbow is a sign of God's promise to love and care for everyone and everything.

At the end of the day, students worked on making blown paint ghosts.  A drop of paint was put on the paper and students used straws and their breath to blow the paint around on the paper.



Tuesday October 15th

We continued on our rhyming words today.  We also reviewed the letter Qq and the sound that it makes.

For religion class, we created our very own rainbows using paper squares and glue to help remind us daily of God's promise to us.




Wednesday October 16th

During letter time, we practiced drawing triangles on the whiteboard, remembering to start at the top and slide down, then making a line across and climbing back to the top.




We also started discussing the letter Rr and the sound that it makes.  Students had a ton of words to put on our word list and almost filled up the board on the first day.  

During religion, we watched the Veggie Tale "Noah's Ark" to help us visualize the story.

At the end of the day, students created a coffee filter flame using markers and water to wrap up our fire safety week.






Thursday October 17th
We continued to learn about triangles and the letter Rr and students filled the rest of the board with Rr words.
During religion, we played a true/false game to practice remembering the story for the week.
We finished our day with a play preview of the Little Mermaid, put on by the jr. high students.

Friday October 18th
Fun Friday was a bit different.  Due to the play being put on in Selinger, we were not able to have PE.  We instead watched the Little Mermaid with Miss Jay and Nikki's class.  

I also got the cutest video of the students dancing during our movement time.  The kids have some of the best singing voices and memories.






Please return report card folders and Parent/Teacher Conference forms ASAP.
Book orders are due on the Scholastic website by October 22nd so I have time to submit the order.
Please make sure your child has a jacket daily as morning recess can be cold in the next few months.

  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...
