Week 14 November 11th-15th

 Monday November 11th

We started our morning off with an assembly to honor all of our active and retired military personnel.  The students were absolutely amazing during the assembly.

When we returned to our classroom, we started our Religion class.  Today, we read the story of the finding in the temple and talked about how it felt if we have ever lost something or been lost.

We finished off our day by practicing some fine motor skills.  Students practiced ripping paper to gain hand strength.  The students then glued the paper to a paper plate to create a slice of pumpkin pie for our classroom door.


Tuesday November 12th

We started our day by learning about the letter Ww and practiced making the letter sound.  Students worked hard to think of words that started with Ww for our word list.

For religion, we reviewed our story from Monday.  We then talked a little about what we should do if we get lost when we are at places like the grocery store or church.

Today was also our early dismissal day so students got to have their dance party early!


Wednesday November 13th

We continued to review the letter Ww and added any additional words to our word list.

During religion. we talked about how families can work together and how we can help our families.

We finished off our day with some playdough fun.  Miss Paige prompted the students to create a shape, letter, or number with their playdough and the students were laughing and giggling the whole time.


Thursday November 14th

We introduced the letter Xx today and talked about the sound it makes.  Students first made the /k/ sound and the /s/ sound.  After that we worked on putting them together and making the sound for Xx.

During religion, we drew pictures of our families to display in our classroom.




We spent the last part of our day, we worked on a super special project for students to give to parents for Thanksgiving.


Friday November 15th

We started our day with P.E. and continued to work on our tossing skills with our hula hoop/bean bag game.




For religion, we watched an animated version of our story for the week.

Shortly after our video, the internet stopped working so students got some extra time to chat with their friends while we were taking a bathroom break.


We finished our day with an extra recess and spent the whole afternoon soaking up the last bit off nice weather for this year.


Important Reminders

Our mass day is on November 20th.  Please have all students to school by 7:45 so we can meet with the 7th graders.

Scholastic book orders are due on the 26th so that the order can be placed before Thanksgiving break.

There is no school November 27, 28 or 29 due to Thanksgiving break.

There are new items being added to the classroom wish list on Amazon.  Items do not have to be purchased through Amazon.  Any donations are greatly appreciated.

  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...
