Semmes Beginner Chess Lessons



Semmes Beginner Chess Lessons

(Semmes Library Chess Event and More)

During the pandemic of 2020,  I have decided to put my Chess lessons on line. 

Now I am not seeking profit from this, but I started the Semmes Library Chess and More with the express purpose of playing, teaching and having a social gathering. 

I wish to continue this tradition to maintain ties for the many patrons that have been coming to our Thursday meetings and continue our part of being "More".  

So this page will be dedicated to the beginner, or really any patron young or young at heart.  Enjoy the lessons, I am really happy to be doing this for you.


About This Site's Sources

I based my lessons on my 2nd grade blog.  

The 2nd grade blog was used as my homework sheet for my students, a lesson planner, and allowed access to textbooks online with daily pertinent information.  

I used this with great success and I offered it to several teachers during the 2020 Pandemic.  

I sought sources such as You Tube, for videos, and the internet searches from Yahoo and Google.  

For practice of terms and concepts I am utilizing Quizlet.  
Quizlet is a multi-functional app, that teaches, reviews and test students.  Games are also utilized to vary learning in a fun format.

Now this page is for educational purposes only. I am not seeking to make any profit for my effort.

 It is intended as lessons for my patrons at the Semmes Library in San Antonio, or for anyone really, if you happen to stumble upon my page.

Parents of 2nd graders



Parents, 

If you are reading this you have accessed my blog site.  
I used this blog as my online homework assignment sheet.  
It has links to math, reading and spelling  texts and sites.   

Spelling City.   I used this program with excellent results. 
You can use spelling city as a free app, but I would consider paying for the upgrade and use this for your youngsters.

I have several years of blog online HW assignment sheets in chronological order, from August to May. 
Feel free to move down to the approximate date of your child's school experience and explore that date, and the week before or after too. 

I know that this is a trying time but, do carry on, because this too shall pass.
