Chess with Rookly
Thursdays, 3:30-4:30
Grades 2, 3, 4, 5
Instructor: Luke Brown
Rookly began when founders Amir Moazami and Matthew Zeitlin were six years old competing on the Horace Mann chess team. Chess kept them close as they went to colleges on opposite coasts. Amir and Matthew founded Rookly to share their love of the game with children across the country. Our classes are structured to develop academic confidence in students by starting from piece movement and gradually building to more complicated strategical ideas.
Note: Rookly classes are remote, and will be held on campus in a supervised space. Students will need devices to access the Rookly platform. Evergreen will provide devices to those who need them.
Fishing Club
Fridays, 3:30-4:30
Grades 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Instructor: Caleb Rose
Grab your pole and your lures and get ready for all things fishing! It may be the start of winter, but as a lifelong learner, fishing never ends for Mr. Rose. There is always something to build, maintain, or research when you love to fish. Discover the secrets to using advanced fishing techniques and find out how to catch a big fish when no one else can. Develop and construct your own fishing equipment, lures and rigs. Learn how to pick the right equipment for the particular style of fishing you are interested in. This course will be hands-on every week, with the opportunity to get off campus and fish whenever possible.
Includes: Smiles, boat trips, improved fishing skill set, positivity, unofficial guide to all the best fishing locations.
Please bring appropriate clothing and gear for cold weather and for spending time on the water. If needed, Mr. Rose will provide proper gear and equipment to students.
Evergreen courses change by the season, and we always have something new in store! In this Evergreen course last year, 4 lucky students headed out into the back fields of Pine Point School to help maintain our trail system. They learned how to properly mark trails, map trails, and keep them clear and safe while working with all sorts of tools and exploring along the way!
