Class Experience

This class is for students in grades 1-5 who want to learn life-long skills by playing Chess.  Chess will enhance reading and math skills and improve critical thinking abilities.  Chess provides long-term skills for children to think and plan strategically.  Children will learn essential chess play, structure, and function of the pieces.  I have fine-tuned my chess teaching method to construct an easy way for kids to learn how to play the game. 

Lessons will include 1.  Critical thinking skills 2.  Many uses of Chess.  3.  Rules and information about playing Chess.  4.  Demonstration of the game.  5.  Begin play of the game
