Immerse yourself in the exciting world of chess! Chess is fun and can be learned quickly and easily! Studies have found that chess helps improve test results in reading, science, and math, and produces growth in critical cognitive skills. Beyond academia, chess influences social behavior including self esteem, respect for others, patience, and good sportsmanship. And did we mention: it’s FUN! (This class is intended for 1st through 4th grade, but if your K student has an interest and any chess knowledge, they are welcomed to join. As there is a grade specification associated with this offering, the system may not allow you to bypass - in which case, please reach out to TapscottEP@prospectsierra.org for assistance.)
