Week 31 April 7th-11th

 Monday April 7th

We started our day by having an alphabet party since we successfully completed writing all of the letters.  

We also spent our morning sharing our baby photos with each other and trying to guess who's pictures were which.

At recess, we had bubbles for students to use and spent the rest of our afternoon playing in our centers.


Tuesday April 8th

We started the day with a cowboy counting video that students were able to dance along to.


Then we read about the story of Easter and discussed how we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead on Easter Sunday.  Students then watched an animated version in the classroom.

We finished our day by skipping nap and watching Toy Story to celebrate our amazing western wear.


Wednesday April 9th

The day started with Donuts and Dodgeball with Dads, which was an absolute hit.  Thank you to all of those who were able to attend for making this a special day for your students!  Students were able to show off their "dodgeball" skills with some friendly competition both with and against the dads.






To finish our day, we attended the dress rehearsal for grades 2-4 spring concert and were able to watch some of our siblings perform.


Thursday April 10th

Today we created a collaborative poster to hang in our classroom.  Each child was given a square of the poster to color however they wanted and then the pieces were taped together to add to our classroom.  The poster is displayed next to our kitchen center in our classroom.

For E day, students had an extra recess to make sure they got plenty of exercise for the day!

At the end of our day, we talked about eggs with the help of our Scholastic My Big World poster about eggs and chickens.


Friday April 11th

Instead of P.E today, students got to paint their craft for their grandparents to give them on Monday during our Gardening and Granola with Grandparents event!  Afterwards, we shared what our favorite colors were, per today's letter theme.   

After lunch, we talked about primary colors and how they could be combined to make secondary colors.  Students also discovered how mixing all the colors can cause them to be a brown/black color.

We finished our day by watching "The Hero of Color City", where a box of crayons goes on an adventure to save their city!

  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...
