With schools open once again, the Chess Center is thrilled to return to in-person teaching in Washington, DC. This past Thursday afternoon we resumed our classes at John Burroughs Elementary School.
Before the chess pieces are passed out to start play, here is Mr. Constantine reviewing every teacher’s favorite rule: players must always remain silent during the games.
As always, we hope our students will be able to apply the critical thinking and problem solving skills they learn from chess to help them in the classroom. Of our previous programs at John Burroughs, teacher Vicki Bullock has said, “Chess has made a positive impact on these students’ ability to be THOUGHTFUL and THOROUGH in their work!”
