Checkers

We want to know
-how checkers are made
-how do they find the cardboard
-how they can fly, but they can't fly
-who made up the game?

What we did
Poem
"Playing the Game"
Life is a game with a glorious prize,
If we can only play it right.
It is give and take, build and break,
And often it ends in a fight;
But he surely wins who honestly tries
(Regardless of wealth or fame),
He can never despair who plays it fair -
How are you playing the game?

Drawing
Ezra drew a checkerboard. He learned how to make the board using long lines. We played on it. He counted the boxes and colored it correctly.

Played Checkers
we played Checkers or Chinese Checkers at least once day

We Learned
There is a huge checker board that you have to walk across. The pieces are so big that they look like they're already kinged
The longest checker game took 7 hours and 30 minutes
