Today we added rooks, or "castles" to our chess sets and figured out through discussions how to make our knights. Next week we will work on designs for the kings and queens. This is a fifth and 6th grade project. The students sanded the tops of their chess boards flat using a random orbit sander. Also, the kids are playing chess in their free time at school.
Playing chess is great mental exercise for them. I hope they keep it up.
