Hello Everyone, My name is Chris Solorzano (Mr. S to my students) and it is a pleasure to teach your already computer savvy scholars. This is my first year teaching Computer Science at Life Academy and my 11th year in education.

This year, scholars will have the opportunity to explore their creativity using block coding and project based learning, while staying up-to-date on proper internet etiquette and safety.

Quarter 2: We will continue to practice solving complex puzzles that will eventually give us the skills to customize our own programs.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

This year scholars will explore artwork from around the world. Scholars will share what they notice about each anchor artwork. They will learn the technique, materials and elements each anchor artwork illustrates. 

Quarter 2:  We will explore artwork from Africa and Asia. Students created two art pieces.  The first project will focus on geometry shapes, symmetry and ballance.  The second project will focus on creating distance using foreground, background, and middle ground. 

Let Your Creativity Flow,

Ms. Felton / afelton@kippnj.org
