Week 3- August 25th-29th

 Monday August 25th

Today we started talking about the letter Bb.  Students worked to find the letter Bb in songs and think of words that started with the letter Bb.  We then read a story from our religion curriculum about Jesus and his special friends, the Apostles, who were fishermen who chose to follow Jesus.  We talked about ovals and how they are squashed circles or "flat tires" as the kids said.  We finished our day with centers while students showed off their name writing skills.


Tuesday August 26th

We continued to talk about the letter Bb today and made a giant list of words on our smartboard.  Students also worked to complete a paper where they identified the letter Bb.  During religion, we read about Nina and how she greeted a new student at her school and became friends with them as we welcomed a new friend into our classroom.  We also practiced tracing ovals and writing our names.  During recess, the students participated in an amazing dance party!


Wednesday August 27th

We started our morning off with a "birthday boogie" and some birthday treats for Charlie's birthday!


Later in the morning, we had our first ever tornado drill and our class did amazing!  They were great role models for younger students during this time!  After the drill, students got to practice writing the letter Bb on our smartboard.





We continued our friendship theme with some water colors to help create a "friendship banner" in our classroom.








We finished our day by playing with friends in centers!






Thursday August 28th

Today we brought our biggest and best smiles for picture day!  After taking our pictures, we read the story "You Can Be A Good Friend" by Taraji P. Henson and discussed all of the ways that we can be good friends to those in our classroom, school, and community.  Students also got to use their scissor skills to cut and sort Aa and Bb and glue them to their paper.  

We also got to enjoy some extra sunlight with an extra recess!

Friday August 29th

We started the day with P.E. and practiced our patience with a game of duck duck goose.  Afterwards, we played a game of follow the leader and practiced walking on the lines in our parking lot.






Because it was fun Friday and students had an amazing week, we completed our morning meeting and got to spend some extra time on our playground.  Later in the day, we celebrated Mrs. Nikki's birthday with ice cream and cookies!  To finish our day, we had our first ever praise assembly of the year.  Congrats Sam, for winning this month's character award.

Next week, we will be talking about community helpers as our theme.  We will also be talking about the letter Cc and triangles.

  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 second year teaching!  I 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 and handw...

  Monday January 27th We started our week off with a prayer service in the big school.  Students got to sing and dance, while also praying and being thankful for the opportunity to talk about Jesus in our school! After the prayer service, students were invited to a glow in the dark dance party in the gym where we danced our hearts out. We returned to our classroom to learn about the letter Ll and then made our way to Miss Jay's room for a movie watch party.  Students were amazed that the movie was actually on the ceiling! We finished our day with our Catholic Schools Week service project.  Students partnered with an 8th grade buddy to help clean our school and make Valentine's day cards for a local nursing home! Tuesday January 28th We started the day by reviewing the letter Ll and practiced writing the letter. We also had a dance party in the classroom. At the end of our day, we had a school pep assembly where a few preschool students got to participate in a minute ...

  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...
