Giggletime Preschool at Sonja's Studio

The past two weeks have been an absolute whirlwind—in the very best way! Our classrooms have been buzzing with excitement as we counted down to graduation, and what a beautiful celebration it has been. 🎓✨

We are beyond proud of our little graduates and everything they’ve accomplished this year. We’ve seen it all—tears, frustration, belly laughs, big smiles, and those magical “I did it!” moments. But more than anything, we’ve watched incredible growth unfold right before our eyes, and that is something truly special. 💛

Graduation is always a little bittersweet. It’s hard to say goodbye, but our hearts are so full knowing these kiddos are ready to take on their next big adventure. We just know they’re going to continue to shine and take the world by storm! 🌟

Thank you to each and every one of you for trusting us with your children. Being a small part of their journey is something we never take for granted. We love them dearly and couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of our graduates! 💕

We seriously cannot believe we are in our FINAL TWO WEEKS of Preschool!! 🎓✨ Time has flown, and our days have been absolutely jam-packed with learning, exploring, and getting ready for graduation!

Last week was full of fun and unforgettable memories! We kicked things off with a glowing good time—neon outfits, glow sticks, disco lights, and an epic glow party! 🌟 Since it was Ocean Week, we added a magical touch with flashlights that projected ocean creatures all around the room…the kids were in awe!

To wrap up the week, we brought the BEACH to our classroom! 🏖️ The kids came dressed in their favorite summer gear and had the best time playing with pool floaties, splashing in the water bin, diving into a ball “pool,” and digging for hidden treasure in the sand. So much laughter, imagination, and joy!

And don’t worry—between all the fun, these kiddos are still working hard, growing their brains, and getting ready for their big next step. We are so proud of how far they’ve come! 💛

Just a reminder!!! School pictures are tomorrow and Tuesday!!

🌸🐰 What a Hoppin’ Good Week in Pre-K! 🐣🌷

Last week was an absolute BLAST as we dove into all things Easter, bunnies, eggs, and SPRING! 🌈✨

From picking surprise eggs and discovering colorful Peeps inside (then matching and coloring our bunnies to fit!), to an epic Easter egg hunt for our 3-day classes—our days were filled with laughter, excitement, and so many sweet memories. 💕

We even got a little creative in the ‘kitchen’ by dyeing marshmallows and turning them into delicious Rice Krispie treats… which, of course, made snack time extra special! 😋

And while we’ve been having all this fun, we’ve also been working SO hard on our graduation program 🎓 The kids are getting more excited every day and cannot wait to show you everything they’ve learned and practiced this year—it’s going to be so special!

Spring energy is in full swing and we are loving every minute of it! 🌼💛

🌸☀️ Spring has officially sprung, and you can feel the excitement the moment these kids walk through the door! Their energy is high, their smiles are bright, and they are more than ready to soak up every bit of sunshine and fun this season brings!

Even with dreams of beautiful Alaskan summer days ahead, our preschoolers are still working so hard in class—and we are so proud of them! 💛

Last week, we dove into the adorable world of baby animals 🐾 Did you know a baby kangaroo is called a joey or that a baby ape is called an infant? The kids had the BEST time guessing all the different names—and let me tell you, they were on fire! 🔥

We wrapped up the week with a matching game, pairing baby animals with their grown-ups, and they absolutely nailed it. These little learners truly soak up everything like sponges! One confident student even declared they were “smarter than their mom” 😄 (Don’t worry—we made sure to remind them that moms are pretty smart too!)

With the sunshine making more appearances, we hope you’re all finding time to get outside, enjoy the fresh air, and make some sweet spring memories together 🌷

☀️ Tell us—what’s your favorite thing to do outside in the spring!?

🌈✨ Lucky little learners! ✨🌈

March 16–20 was all about St. Patrick’s Day fun and ALL things rainbow! 🍀 The kids had the best time learning, creating, and diving into colorful activities all week long.

Our Friday classes even made a special snack—building rainbows out of Fruit Loops! 🌈🥣 Not only was it delicious, but it also took some serious focus and dexterity (and maybe a little self-control not to eat all the colors first 😉).

In dance, we’ve officially started working on our recital routine, and the excitement is REAL! 💃🕺 The kids are already dreaming about shining on the big stage, and we can’t wait to watch them sparkle.

Every week, they continue to grow and impress us as they master colors, shapes, letters, and counting. Their enthusiasm for learning is the absolute best part of our days! 💛

We sure do love this sweet, colorful crew! 🌈✨

Last week was full of Seuss-tastic fun in our classroom! 📚✨ We celebrated the silly and wonderful world of Dr. Seuss by reading some of his books, practicing rhyming words, and even creating our own very silly Seuss-inspired names for each of the kids.

Our science experiment was a big hit too—we made Oobleck, just like in Bartholomew and the Oobleck! The kids loved exploring the ooey-gooey mixture and seeing how it could act like both a liquid and a solid. Messy science is the best kind of science!

The book exchange was also a huge hit, and we hope everyone has been enjoying their new books at home. 📖

We hope you’ve all been enjoying spring break—whether relaxing, traveling, or getting outside to enjoy the fresh air. We can’t wait to hear all about the kids’ adventures when we’re back together!

Enjoy the last few days of break—we’re excited to finish the school year strong! 🎉

Last week we took a little walk on the wild side as we explored animals you might see at the zoo! 🐘🦒 We talked about how many zoo animals are there because they were injured or needed help surviving in the wild. The kids loved learning how people care for and protect these amazing animals.

Our science time was extra exciting with bouncing bubbles! 🫧 The PM class got to see some super strong bubbles bounce and float. The AM class helped us learn an important science lesson—sometimes experiments work even better when we let our solution sit a little longer. That’s the fun of science… we learn something new every time we try!

We are also continuing to stretch those growing brains with phonics practice. From rhyming and beginning sounds to chopping out syllables, we’ve now started listening for ending sounds in words.

Want to join the learning at home? Try “chopping” these words into parts with your child:
bedroom • bathroom • tailgate

It’s amazing to watch these kiddos grow, learn, and discover something new every day! 💛
