Hedrick Elementary School is bringing chess to life.
Students in the school’s chess club became chess pieces in a life-sized chess game during the dedication of the chess board intended to enhance the students’ critical-thinking skills Oct. 29.
“The students are real excited because it’s something new,” said Luis Matos, first-grade bilingual teacher and chess coach. “Rather than staying inside, it’s another avenue they can have to enhance their thinking skills.”
