Dear Families,
Last Friday the students in our class had their first chess lesson with Mr. Mills.  They learned about the pieces and how to set up the board.  Mr. Mills and I were very impressed at how well the students did.  We will continue to have chess each Friday.  I will post pictures of the students playing chess after this week's session.
