Tonight we're NOT here- we're in the Art Room!Remember, tonight from 6:30-8:00 is the Chess Carnival at Mill Valley, in the Art Room! There will be lots of challenging puzzles and mini-games, and kids earn "chips" as they accomplish each task.
This is also an opportunity for me to meet chess parents, and to answer questions, etc.
If you would like to help set up, please arrive at 6pm. The Chess Carnival will be about practicing chess, and learning what it takes to compete and excel in one of the oldest and most amazing games in the world. As educators would attest, Chess helps young minds develop, and can actually improve performance in the classroom. Together with a well-rounded curriculum including athletics and exercise, Chess can become an interesting "oracle" into the lessons of life itself: Patience, Balance, Planning, Strategy, Defense, and the normal, positive competition we all face in life wherein hard work is rewarded with success. And, it's just a fun game! Hope to see you tonight.
Secondy, I will have T-SHIRT ORDER FORMS if you would like a T-shirt but have not yet turned in the form! The deadline for all forms is next TUESDAY, then I will be placing the order.
Finally, don't forget the TOURNAMENT at the prestigious University School of Milwaukee this Saturday. If you are interested, and if you are not sure if your child is ready to play, let's talk tonight! Sometimes, and for some kids, the best way is to jump in and play (once they learn some basics). For other kids, it's best that they are fully prepared so they are not too frustrated with their early chess experiences. Remember, with chess, you either WIN or LEARN. There is no losing!
Thank you
