The Royale Game (10+) $100 Eric Clemenson [email protected] This class is for experienced players and students from my introductory class, the ABCs of Chess. In addition to traditional chess, students will be introduced to chess variants such as Bughouse and Chess960. An unrated tournament (10 min.) and Bughouse tournament are options available to students, as long there are enough competitors. Trophies will be awarded to the top finishers. Free chess books from my library are often awarded to students. Each class consists of a learning portion and a play portion. Playing chess is fun and that's what this class is about. The use of chess clocks is encouraged, but not required for casual play, because without a clock, games are seldom finished in the limited time available. Tournament pieces, boards and clocks will be provided. The learning portion will mostly consist of solving problems and playing over master games, during which students will be encouraged to predict a master's moves. In addition, there will be some interactive lessons in basic opening play and basic endgame theory. Participation medallions will be awarded. Payments by cash, check and via Zelle using my phone number.

Inside Out! (8+) $120 Sierra Beckwith [email protected] In this class, we will dive in deep. This one is all about getting to discover what’s going on inside and how to identify, talk about, and act on the emotions and feelings, we all experience as they stir up inside of us. We will discuss 10 core topics on emotional intelligence and self regulation, integrating activities, exercises, strategies, and self reflection into the classroom discussions. During the 12 weeks, the children will get to know one another and themselves in a unique way. We will dive deep inside to the core of who we all are and what makes our emotions tick. As emotions run quite abstractly, so will the course as we navigate through the semester to meet the needs of the group. Although I cannot tell you the specific order in which these topics will be discussed, they are as follows: Understanding emotions Recognizing stress Deep breathing techniques Positive self talk Mindfulness and being present Identifying and expressing emotions Developing empathy Managing anger Building resilience Creating a balanced routine Teacher guided/group led discussions offer children an awareness that they are not alone and going through big emotions -that their peers experience similar things as well. It also offers multiple perspectives and strategies to cope, and a greater sense of ownership and understanding of their own emotions and actions. A journal will be provided for each enrolled student, however, children are allowed and encouraged to bring their own unique journal to class. Payment can be made via Zelle, Venmo, or check.
