Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Please help my students discover the wonders of the game of chess and its many proven benefits. According to studies done at the University of Memphis, playing chess supports the development of higher-order thinking skills—like problem solving, decision making, critical thinking, planning, and even creative thinking. Chess training and practice also helps improve general cognitive ability and scholastic achievement—especially in mathematics.

In addition, it reinforces affective attributes such as patience, prudence, and perseverance.

Two prominent virtues of chess are fairness and honesty. Chess also promotes civil behavior and respect for the your opponent.
