Poem
"The Famous Chess Poem"
by Ashley & Ezra
Sing to the tune of "Farmer in the Dell"
You must protect the king
You must protect the king
The object in the game of chess
Is to protect the king
The queen is powerful
The board she moves across
She chooses her direction
To lose her would be a loss
Bishops move diagonally
Sometimes from far away
The like to help protect the king
So don't get in their way
Knights attack in L's
Be sure to count your moves
1 then 2 or 2 then 1
Will get them in their groove
Rooks move in straight lines
The start of at the ends
Do your best to keep them safe
They are the king's friends
Pawns move step by step
Their first move can be two
If they make it to the other side
They become a queen too
Game
Played chess every day. Ezra beat me on Friday. I helped him, but only by saying, "are you sure? you can get me, look at all your pieces, etc."
Writing
Ezra sounded out and wrote the names of each piece. He drew arrows to indicate the direction they go. He also drew a picture of the piece
Math
We rolled the dice and added or multiplied the numbers. Ezra loves to multiply. He draws groups with tick marks and adds them up.
Reading
Noah is sounding out the letters pretty well and blending the sounds really well.
