miriam sUMMER PROGRAM 2010
The Miriam School Summer Program offers the opportunity for students to maintain academic skills through instruction in reading, math and written language in the morning. During the afternoon, the students will participate in a variety of enrichment activities based on our theme and explore the social skills necessary for successful teamwork.
Survivor Miriam offers 2 two-week sessions. Students can sign up for one or both two-week sessions. Groups are determined by age, social skills and academic compatibility.
Session 1, Navigators ~ June 21-July 2 - $600
Students will be introduced to the skills of survival. Older students may learn about how to read a map and how to survive both in the classroom and in the wild. Younger students will learn about the many different habitats found around the world.
Session 2, Explorers ~ July 6-July 16 - $575
(no program July 5)
Students will continue their journey of survival. Older students will explore their own personal learning styles and learn about the ways in which exploration has changed the world as we know it. Younger students will learn how animals and people survive in different environments.
Weekly “tribe challenges” will focus on team building games and activities that are less about competitiveness, and more about empowerment.
