4 short weeks

Can you believe that we only have 4 short weeks left until we are done with the 2010 ~2011 school year?! WOW, that went by really fast! The learning will not stop for summer though. We will continue to learn throughout the summer.
The 2010-2011 school year for A Stable Beginning Christian Academy will officially end on Friday, June 3rd. Marie will be graduating and moving on to high school, what?!? Yes, I know. She is currently brainstorming ideas for a new name for the high school program, more on that later. I am in the process of writing up our summer learning plans. We normally do a summer reading project but this year I am expanding on it to include Math, Science, and Grammar lessons too spread out over a 6 week period. Because of outside activities we didn’t get in nearly enough science (or art for that matter) for the girls or my tastes so we will really be getting into the thick of it over the summer.
During our summer session there will be defined academic lessons to be completed four days a week, M-TH. The daily work will be limited to 2 1/2 hours a day to allow us to enjoy the summer season and all that it entails including spending time with friends & family and field trips.

June 3rd ~ last day of 2010 ~ 2011 school year
