Week 35 May 5th-9th

 Monday May 5th

We started our morning by talking about rhyming words again and students practiced their scissor skills to complete a rhyming match worksheet.

After lunch, we watched an episode of Wild Kratts to prepare for our reptile presentation.  We then went to our Reptile Rap presentation put on by Wildheart.  Students got to learn about reptiles, sing songs, and get an up close look at a snake.




Tuesday May 6th

We started our morning with an extra special science experiment for Ss day.  Miss Samantha, who taught preschool in our room last year, taught the kids all about slime making!  Students learned the fancy words that make slime turn into slime and made their very own slime to take home.







After lunch, we worked on matching letters.  Students had to find and color the lowercase letter that matched the uppercase on the sea animals.

Wednesday May 7th

We started by reviewing previously learned sight word "to" and completing a worksheet that challenged them to use writing and scissor skills.

After lunch, students chose their own tie dye pattern and use rubber bands to complete those designs.  Students then got the chance to tie dye their bandanas with Miss Paige.






 

After tie dying, students made Mother's Day cards for their moms.  We finished the day with a talk about our teddy bears and how they are special to us.

Thursday May 8th

We started our day by surprising Miss Jeanne in the Vogelwied Center for her birthday.  Students sang Happy Birthday and bombarded her with balloons.


Students then got the opportunity to decorate a sign for us to display during the 8th grade "Parade of Saints".


After lunch, we took a virtual field trip to a zoo and watched live zoo cameras to see what types of animals we might see if we were to go to the zoo.  To end our day, we talked about how cool kids stay safe on hot days with the help of our Scholastic magazine.

Friday May 9th

We started by spending our last P.E. class of the year on the playground with an huge chalk maze for the students to race through.

Afterwards, we cheered on the 8th graders as they made their way to the church for their promotion.


We watched the movie Zootopia for Vv for video day.  To end our day, we joined Miss Jay and Nikki's friend on the yard for a special surprise.  A student's parent brought their baby sheep to school and the students had a blast.

  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...
