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 Students

My students come from an underprivileged area. Also, a large number of students live in a trailer park. I teach at a Title I school where 98% of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Yet, with bursts of energy and smiles to share, my students are rich in soul and spirit.

An old game opens these students' entrepreneurial and innovative mindsets.

Once a week, they use their creativity, engage each other and develop sportsmanship skills.

Students learn, enjoy, and are excited about the game of chess. When they go to a tournament and win a medal or trophy it makes them feel proud.

My Project

Once a week, after school, my school's chess club meets and practices their chess strategies, tactics and sportsmanship skills. In order for my students to be competitive at monthly chess tournaments in our area, they will need to practice with tournament size chess sets, chess clocks, and read chess books.

My students will need tournament size chess boards to practice.

Additionally, the students will need to improve their skills by reading books on chess tactics and strategies. Further, my students need to practice chess clocks to compete in rated tournaments.

My students are enthusiastic about chess. help me keep them excited about chess!
