Week 4- September 2nd-5th

 Tuesday September 2nd

We started our week by talking about the letter Cc and practiced how to make the /k/ Cc sound.  Students started a list to show off all of the Cc words we could find.  We then read the Bible story about the Good Samaritan and how we choose to be kind everyday.  Students discussed how the other men who passed by may have been in a hurry to get somewhere and that's why they didn't stop, so we talked about how there are others ways we can help those who are in need.  

After lunch, we talked about triangles and how they have three sides and three points.  During center time, students played with friends while some worked on writing our names.

Wednesday September 3rd

Today we continued to talk about the letter Cc and came up with even more words for our word list.  Afterwards, we read the story "Whose Hands are These" by Miranda Paul and discussed all of the different jobs people have and all of the jobs that we one day hope to do (which was a lot of teachers apparently).  

During recess, students showed off their gymnastic skills while also selling ice cream out of the ice cream truck.



 We continued talking about triangles after the first parent lunch of the year by tracing the shape with markers.  Students also worked to identify letter Cc on their papers.  To finish our day, we continued to work on writing our names.

Thursday September 4th

Today we practiced writing the letter Cc on the smartboard with our magic color pen.  Students took turns and even complimented the other students while waiting.  Afterwards, we read the story "Officer Buckle and Gloria", about a police dog who helped give safety presentations with a great twist.  Students then named other animals that we sometimes see as community helpers like therapy dogs and farm animals, because not all helpers are human.  

Students practiced writing triangles today and talked about how triangles could look different, as long as they have three sides.

Friday September 5th

We started the day with P.E.  Students got to race through an obstacle course, play a round of duck, duck, goose, and a game of follow the leader where they were trying to catch Miss Jay's class.





We went through our morning meeting and students sang the days of the week and worked out to the alphabet.  At the end of the day, students enjoyed some ice cream with sprinkles from the cafeteria and Miss Jay's stash of sprinkles.  Students then finished the day by getting to watch an episode of "Spidey and His Amazing Friends" as a reward for behaving on Thursday when I left early for a meeting.

Next week's topics

Next week, we will be talking all about apples as our theme.  We will also be talking about the letter Dd and squares.

  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...
