We continued our day by making cards to send to a classmate who is very sick.

We started the day with birthday cupcakes to celebrate Susannah's birthday!


We continued to work on the letter Ii and practicing our letter skills.  We also read "The Biggest Pumpkin Ever" and looked through our My Big World magazine, which talked about big and small facts about pumpkins.

To end our early out day, students watched Encanto to close out Hispanic Heritage Month.

During recess today, students practiced what to do during an earthquake and did amazing.

Students also got the opportunity to participate in a whole school rosary with our 8th grade buddies and practiced being respectful to those around us and God during prayer.

Friday October 17th

We started our morning with P.E. and continued last weeks lesson of tossing bean bags in to the center of the gym.

We also got to experience our first field trip!! The students favorite part of the trip was most likely getting to ride on a school bus but they were also able to feed fish and other farm animals, pick their own pumpkin, play in the corn pit, zipline, compete in slide races and race through an obstacle course!  Thank you Rhymer's Ridge for allowing us to come and thank you to all of the chaperones who helped make this field trip a possibility.

  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 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 a...

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.
