Learn to read and write in Romanian using the "Abecedar". We will be studying each letter sound and start reading simple words and write words by sounding out each letter.
This class will be a gentle introduction to the first 1-2 chapters of most high school science courses. We will focus on unit conversions, calculator skills, graphing, the metric system, the scientific method, scientific notation, and measuring. There will be a heavy emphasis on study skills such as: taking notes in class, test taking strategies, following directions, and gleaning appropriate information from word problems.

Schedule:
Thursday - Computer Lab - 125: 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm
Description:
This course will introduce students (ages 13-18) to computer programming using the Scratch language, which was designed in 2007 by MIT to teach fundamental programming concepts to young people. The curriculum will focus on concepts for designing, programming, and developing a video game to help maintain student engagement, retention, and interest, but the skills learned apply to any kind of computer programming. The course will also include a presentation, as each student must “pitch” his game idea to an audience during the final week. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend those days! More information will be provided in Slack at that time.
This is a one semester course (16 weeks) that meets once a week. If students are not able to bring a laptop to class, additional time at the resource center may be required for them to use the FPHRC computer lab.
Students taking the Computer Programming Using Scratch course will learn: fundamental programming concepts, such as loops, variables, and conditionals; different areas of computer programming, including graphics, audio, and logic; understanding user interactions, interfaces, and events; formally defining and designing a computer program
Requirements:
Students must have the “Scratch Coding for Beginners” book, which can be purchased on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMLQ5Z2D . In addition, students must bring a laptop or tablet on which the Scratch app will be installed. (We will work to accommodate students who do not have access to a laptop or tablet in the FPHRC computer lab. This may require extra time in the lab so the student can complete homework outside of scheduled classroom time.) In addition, a notebook and pencil(s) for taking notes are required.

Schedule:
Tuesday - Art Studio - 129: 11:00 am - 12:20 pm
Description:
In this class we will cover a variety of mixed media art techniques and talk about the beauty of letting your art be inspired by scripture. We will cover the basics of watercolor, acrylic, hand lettering, and much more. We will spend several weeks at a time exploring and playing with different mediums followed by opportunities to create more complete pieces of art founded on Bible verses chosen by the students for their own work. At the end of the term we will put all of their skills to use creating their own individual pieces on canvas for them to take home. I have been offering this class at the resource center for three years now and the ingenuity and creativity of the students I’ve had always astounds me! It brings me such joy to see my students growing not only in their artistic abilities through this class but in their increased knowledge of God’s word. In addition, their self discovery as we work together to push their boundaries, try new things, and see the value of imperfections and learning from mistakes is beautiful as I watch them growing into young men and women of God. I look forward to guiding even more students through this super fun class this fall! I hope you’ll join us! Please bring supplies I will provide in the first class as well as a good attitude and a verse to work with each class.
