Week 11 Oct. 21st-24th

 Monday October 21st

Today we started with reviewing previously learned handwriting buddies as we have officially covered our basic handwriting strokes!  We also started learning about the letter Ss and came up with a list of words that all started with Ss.  Students also got an extra tidbit of knowledge by realizing that words that start with sh make the "shh" sound.

During religion class, we read the story "Only One Cookie".  The story talks about a family dinner and at the very end, only one cookie is left for dessert.  Adam, the main character, chooses to share the cookie with his sister instead of eating the whole cookie by himself.

Tuesday October 22nd

We continued to review previously learned handwriting buddies, focusing mainly on a straight up and down stick.  We also practiced telling which words rhyme and don't rhyme. We finished up talking about our Ss words for our list.

During Religion, we recalled our story details by playing the true/false game. We also discussed some things that we can share at school, as well as things we probably shouldn't share at school.

After recess, we joined the other two preschool classes in the alleyway for popsicles since the weather was so nice.


Wednesday October 23rd

In letter time, we reviewed how to make a plus sign for our alphabet practice after nap.  We also started talking about the letter Tt and made a word list.

For Religion, we played a bean bag game. We started by recalling our story.  After that, we passed the beanbag around in a circle, with each student telling us something that they can share with the class.  We also discussed how we can share more than just tangible objects like smiles, hugs, and words of encouragement.

At the end of the day, we assembled our handprint witches that are on display with Miss Jay and Mrs. Nikki's classes art work inside the big school.


Thursday October 24th

We continued today with a review of the letter Tt and finished up our word list. We also continued to talk about rhyming words and determined if two words rhymed or not.

During religion class, we discussed what a virtue is and how it is a good thing that we do over and over.  We discussed the three virtues that we have covered this far, friendship, love, and kindness.  We then put together a chain with all of the skills that we have learned under each virtue.  The chain is displayed near our prayer table in our classroom and will be added to each week.

Today was also an exciting day for students.  Throughout class, they have been working to earn pompoms in a jar to work towards a movie day.  This means that instead of napping, students get to watch a movie.  They earned their prize a few weeks ago and got to watch the movie "Coco" today during nap time.  The students are currently working toward a cake tasting for their next prize and are working really hard.


We WILL be attending mass on Friday, November 1st for the Holy day.  Please have students at school by 7:45 so we may go to the bathroom and meet 7th grade for mass.

Our Halloween party is Thursday October 31st. Please bring in all donations by October 29th so we can prepare them for the party. Thank you to all of those who signed up.

  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...
