Our Community Foundation has announced the second-semester Teaching Innovator Grant recipients. A $250 grant was awarded to support Reader’s Theater for “Chicken Little” in Sarah Mullen’s classroom. Mullen states that the Reader’s Theater Project fostered a greater understanding of plays and poems; students constructed sets for and presented their play to their grade level and one other grade. The students created oral presentations that maintained a clear focus, using multimedia to enhance the development of main ideas and themes that engage their audience. The Foundation conducted the competitive grant program during November and December, inviting Daviess County educators to apply for resources for the second semester of 2024-25 projects.
Our Community Foundation is proud to support innovative teaching methods in all area schools. We appreciate the generosity of our donors to our unrestricted funds, who made this grant possible.
