Annawan Grade School was recently awarded a $750 project grant from the Illinois Retired Teachers Foundation. This year the Association received 162 teacher grant applications. Annawan Grade School was one of the few selected for funding. Our school project consisted of the purchase of multiple sets of 14 board, card, and dice games for a “game library”. A total of 80 games were purchased with the money. Older students will learn how to play the games and then teach the games to classes of younger students. With multiple sets, a whole class will have the opportunity to learn and play the same game at the same time. Playing games encourage critical thinking, problem solving, participation, communication, and strategic planning. Math and reading skills can also be reinforced during game play. We want to thank the IRTAF for their generous donation for our project. We also want to thank Geneseo Farm and Fleet for helping us “get the most for our money”! Play on!
