Improve Learning Through Chess

Help me give my students the ability to learn and play chess in the classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Zebroski's classroom raised $409

My Project

This year my student have taken interest in chess on their school laptops through chess kids. The problem with this is that students cannot bring their laptops to the playground during recess. To solve this problem we are trying to get many different styles and types of chess boards for students to play during recess and on Fun Friday's. My students love chess because it allows them to create their own masterpieces. Here is a few ways that chess can benefit students; it teaches creativity, rewards accurate analysis, promotes abstract thinking, improves Reading and Math scores, sharpens focus and concentration, and develops patience and thoughtfulness
