4th & 5th Grade Chess Play Day

Educational research has shown that playing chess (and other strategic games) builds 21st century thinking, problem solving, and teamwork skills.

Mrs. Heller teaches 4th & 5th grade students to play chess as part of our enrichment program. The culminating experience for these students is a chess play day where the whole grade comes together to play chess.

The 4th grade students played on November 10.

The 5th grade students played on November 12.
