Help me give my students chess boards for classroom use. There are many benefits to playing the game of chess.

This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
It's the end of the school year. We've worked hard and completed our benchmarks and state assessments. It's now time to introduce the creative game of chess. Did you know that playing chess can increase your IQ, improves your memory, reading skills, and problem solving skills. I taught my highest reading group how to play chess after reading an article about chess. They absolutely loved it. They strategized together and caught on quickly on how to play the game. I would like to teach my whole class how to play this intelligent game. With your donation, you will provide 10 classroom chess sets. Thank you!
