Week 16- December 1st-5th

Monday December 1st

We started our day by talking about the letter Oo and the sound that it makes.  Students learned a lot of different words that start with the letter Oo.  We then read a story called "An Angel Brings Good News to Mary" and talked about advent being a time we can prepare our hearts for Jesus.

We then practiced for our Christmas caroling songs for one of the last times.  Students were also very excited to see the snow as we walked back from afternoon recess!


Tuesday December 2nd

We started our day by working on finding the letter Oo when mixed in with other letters.  We also colored pictures to compete in a coloring contest for Vocation Awareness week.

We then went caroling!  I am so proud of how well the students did and am thankful for all of the parents who were able to come and enjoy the performance.


When we returned, students watched "Frosty the Snowman" and gained some extra recess time!

Wednesday December 3rd

This morning, we celebrated Evelyn's half birthday with donuts!


We also continued to talk about St. Nicholas and made paper stockings in hopes that he will visit us over the weekend.  Students also learned about the number 2 and how 1+1=2.

Thursday December 4th

We started the day by celebrating Violet's half birthday with oreos and juice boxes!


Students read a book about Advent and what each of the candles on our Advent wreath represent.  Students then colored their book so they could take it home to share with their families.  

We then went on to talk about the number 3 and that 1+2=3.  Students then practiced their Oo writing skills.

Friday December 5th

We started our day by celebrating Molly's birthday with cupcakes!


Students then got to watch the Winnie the Pooh Christmas Movie for fun Friday.  

We finished our day with the school talent show and students were so excited to see all of the performances and a special appearance from the Oncler and Lorax!

  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.

  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...
