“Saying Bye to Summer 2025”

Summer is Winding Down…

…and we are preparing for an exciting school year ahead. Let’s reflect on the joy, laughter, and learning we shared this summer at Sonnets.

We stayed cool with water days, bubbles, and plenty of outdoor fun. Little artists explored nature-inspired crafts, from leaf crafts to sidewalk chalk murals and we LOVED gathering outside for books, songs, and movement under the summer sky. Lastly, we can’t forget our curious minds and all the discoveries this summer; insects, flowers, and outdoor science experiments and field trips ALL over our city.

“Summer at Sonnets”

Fun in the Sun

This summer, our classrooms are buzzing with hands-on learning, discovery, and play as we explore a variety of themes that support early childhood development. From water play that builds motor skills and sensory awareness, to music and movement that enhance coordination and listening, every activity is thoughtfully designed to blend fun with learning.

Children are engaging in science experiments, art projects, and LOTS of outdoor exploration in this busy city of ours. Summer is the perfect season to nature curiosity, creativity, and confidence - and we’re soaking up every moment of it!

“Save the Birds, Bees, and Trees”

Spring at Sonnets

This spring we focused on the wonders of the Earth through hands-on exploration and interactive experiences.

Activities such as nature walks allowed the children to observe local flowers and trees, fostering a connection to their environment. We learned about the seasons, weather patterns, and the importance of ecosystems through creative play and storytelling. We incorporated art projects, such as creating collages from natural materials, helping us to express our understanding of the planet in a tangible way.

Through these enriching experiences, the children built on their early appreciation for the world around them.

“For the Record, You’re a Classic”

February at Sonnets

Introducing children to classic books and music opens up a world of imagination and creativity. At Sonnets Academy, we believe in nurturing young minds through the timeless themes found in classic literature and the beauty of renowned musical compositions. Our engaging curriculum incorporates storytelling and music appreciation, fostering a love for reading and rhythm from a young age. Children explored beloved tales and iconic melodies, helping them develop empathy, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. This enriching experience not only enhances their literacy and auditory skills but also cultivates an enduring appreciation for the arts, laying the groundwork for lifelong learning and exploration.

“Open Up the Curtains - Broadway for Kids”

January at Sonnets

“Broadway for Kids” offered a magical introduction to the world of theater, where familiar stories came alive through vibrant performances and captivating songs. This past month we had the chance to experience colorful musicals and enchanting plays that sparked imagination and creativity. With themes that resonated with children, such as friendship, adventure, and dreams, like Aladdin, Wizard of Oz/Wicked, & The Lion King, teachers encouraged kids to explore their emotions and develop a love for storytelling.

“Our Class is a Family”

December at Sonnets

In our classrooms, we create a strong sense of family where every child feels valued and supported. This December we shared experiences that fostered connections among peers and their families.

Parents joined us for holiday events and spent time in our classrooms reading books about family traditions during the holiday season. We learned from one another, understanding that each unique personality contributes to the vibrant tapestry of our classroom community. Together, we grow, laugh, and learn, building lasting bonds that extend beyond the classroom walls.

“We All Go Traveling By”

November at Sonnets

Learning about traveling opens up a world of possibilities for young minds. This November, we introduced children to different cultures, languages, and traditions enriching their understanding of the world.

Through stories, maps, and activities we explored various destinations where we imagined the sights, sounds, and tastes of far-off places. This exploration not only ignited a sense of adventure but helped us build valuable skills such as communication, problem-solving, and adaptability.

"Onomatopoeia…My What a Word!"

October at Sonnets

October kicked off the season of change and growth, where every leaf tells a story of transformation and every lesson is a step toward new horizons. As the days grew cooler, our hearts and minds warmed with curiosity and the joy of learning.

Our curricular theme focused on words that “sing”, “buzz”, and “pop” with life! In our classrooms, we celebrated onomatopoeia—the magical sounds that bring stories to life and spark imagination.
