Week 33 April 22nd-25th

Wednesday April 23rd

We started our day with a letter writing assessment where students worked very hard to show how much their writing has improved since the start of the school year.





We then went on to learn about dandelions and how they turn from yellow flowers into puffballs and spread seeds everywhere.  We also talked about which animals eat dandelions and how people sometimes eat them in salads.

Thursday April 24th

Today we learned about Daniel and the Lion's Den with the help of our children's Bible and Veggietales.  Students learned how we should never be afraid because God is always with us.

Instead of nap today, we took our annual walking field trip to YoYum's downtown.  Students had a blast looking into the windows of local shops and eating some frozen yogurt.  We even stopped to play in the Capital Lawn on our way back.





To finish our day, we completed our 6th Magic Treehouse book so students could rest their bodies after going for such a long walk.

Friday April 25th

We started our morning with some more tee ball and soaking up the sun.  Students have improved tremendously on hitting the ball and some hit the ball all the way across the playground.


We then went inside and calmed down our bodies with some flamingo themed yoga.

After lunch, we practiced how to do hand massages for our Muffins and Makeovers with Mom event.



We finished our day by working in groups to make muffins to serve our moms on Monday.

  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...
