Week 34 April 28th-May 2nd

 Monday April 28th

We started our morning by celebrating our the moms of our classroom.  Students enjoyed muffins and got to give moms a fun new makeover.  Thank you again to all of those who came.









We continued our day by talking all about bugs and how they have jobs they do every day.  Students have taken notice to bees when we are outside for activities so we talked about how they help plants grow.

Tuesday April 29th

We started our day by playing a new game called Finding Larry.  Students are tasked with finding a little lion picture hidden behind leaves that are labeled with letters.  The students were so excited to learn and play this new game.

We then read a story about a special celebration to honor the Mother Mary.  We discussed how our mass on Wednesday would be different because of the May Crowning ceremony.

During our normal nap time, students made their own construction paper flowers to practice scissor skills and creativity.




We finished our day by making noodle necklaces and laughing with friends.






Wednesday April 30th

Today was our May Crowning ceremony at Mass.  Students were excited to be a part of this ceremony by bringing in their flowers from home.

After mass, we celebrated Oo day by talking about an octopus and how they use their tentacles to trap their food, through our My Big World magazine.  Students also got a change to practice their syllable skills on sea animal names.

To finish our day, we soaked up some extra sun and made chalk mazes and obstacle courses for the students to race through.

Thursday May 1st

We started our day by talking about plants and how a little seed becomes a giant plant.  Students also worked on their labeling skills by labeling parts of a plant.

We enjoyed our lunch outside this morning and students were so excited to be in the prayer garden.







After lunch, we continued to talk about plants and students worked hard to cut and paste the steps of a plants life cycle.

We finished our day by celebrating our Penny War victory with a popsicle party with Mrs. Dunn and Miss Massman's classes and thanked them for their help in our victory.


Friday May 2nd

We started our day with a walk to the Governor's Garden for P.E.  Students were in awe of the Mansion and kept talking about the "castle" they kept seeing.  They were even more excited to go up the stone steps and get a closer view.




We continued our day by watching "A Bug's Life" to finish up our bug and plant weeks.

We also spent some extra time outside for fun Friday!

  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...

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...
