Coles Elementary School The third grade students I have eagerly look forward to Thursday, its our “Chess Day!” Some have learned from nothing, while others have improved their knowledge of the game & how it is played. They love to share what they are learning at school with their parents & siblings at home. I even have one student teaching his grandpa how to play on a chess board his grandpa brought back from Mexico in 1986. It truly is a multi-generational game Students in my class love the “no kibitzing” rule. They always show good sportsmanship before, during, and after the game which is excellent. I see many of them make connections to the chess board and game For instance, we were hunting in the classroom for parallel and intersecting lines during Math and they instantly noticed these on the demonstration board with the files and ranks. We ALL love this program! I also love to get involved and play a student during Chess Time. They love to challenge the teacher, and so far are doing a great job at beating me! Read All
