Week 13 November 4th-8th

 Monday November 4th

We started our week with learning about the letter Uu and discussed how it can make both the short and long sound.  We also continued to review determining whether two words rhyme or not.

During religion, we started talking about saints and watched a short video to remind ourselves what a saint is.

We started practicing our songs for our Christmas caroling this week.

At the end of the day, we read the story "Turkey Trouble" and talked about our turkey disguise projects that were being sent home with students.


Tuesday November 5th

We reviewed the letter Uu and continued to practice determining whether or not words rhyme.

We then talked about St. Peter during religion and discussed how Peter always kept Jesus in his heart. 

At the end of our day, we colored cornucopias to display on the office window.


Wednesday November 6th

Today we started going over the letter Vv and made a list of words that start with that letter.

During religion, we learned about St. Maria Goretti, the child saint.  Students learned that we don't have to be all grown up to become a saint.

We finished our day by reading the Scholastic magazine, "My Big World", where students learned about leaves.  Students learned the vocabulary word "evergreen" and were tasked with trying to find evergreen trees on their ride home.  We also talked about what different types of leaves fall from different trees.


Thursday November 7th

We continued to talk about the letter Vv and how v looks different from u.  We also continued talking about rhyming words.  

We finished up with learning about saints with St. Philomena, another child saint, so that students can relate a little bit more to saints. 

We finished our day with an art project.  Students were given a paper with a wax outline of a leaf.  Students then used watercolors to paint their leaves.




Friday November 8th

We started our day with Fun Friday P.E. class. Students got to play a new game where they had to work as a team to beat the other four teams.





After P.E. we colored pictures for the Vocations day coloring contest.  Students worked hard to get their pictures done.




The Veteran's day assembly is on Monday the 11th.  Please send students in red, white, and blue clothing.

The 12th is an early dismissal day.  Students will be released at 1:15 and must be picked up by 1:35 at the latest.

Turkeys are due back to school on the 15th in order to be displayed in the hallway.  Please make sure to write your child's name on the turkey so we know whose is whose.

Wednesday the 20th will be our mass day so students need to be at school by 7:50.

  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...
