Thank America's Teachers-Feature K. Burgan's Proposal




The Farmers Insurance Company Sponsored  Thank America's Teachers would like to highlight K. Burgan's proposal.  She is a  teacher at Columbia Central Jr. High School with many areas of expertise.

CLIMBING TO FITNESS

Her proposal would bring to her students a fun and adventurous fitness experience. She would use the grant funds to purchase and install a rock climbing wall in the gymnasium.  She enjoys watching her students work hard on their fitness and this would give them variety and a new challenge to improve their fitness.

Different from other activities, rock climbing builds upper body strength and balance in a new and exciting way. This challenge accommodates everyone's abilities helping them with coordination, balance, and muscle strength while giving them a motivation of reaching new goals.

Creative additions are to be incorporated to vary the climbing experience and provide students with a way to increase their  problem solving skills.  By adding hula hoops and noodles the kids will be encouraged to greater feats and utilize a cross curriculum that exercises their problem solving skills in math.  All safety equipment is included with the rock wall.

The Farmer Insurance Company Sponsored Thank America's Teacher would like to spotlight K. Husarik, Teacher at Parkview Elementary School in Steger, Illinois.  She has been teaching at Parkview for two and prior to that served as a substitute for three years.

Since she has been teaching she has marked the rewards;  her love of teaching becoming stronger and to see children grow not only physically but in academics and social skills. 

PLANT THE SEEDS OF KNOWLEDGE

   Motivated by a quote "Teacher's plant the seeds of knowledge that last a lifetime." This district is considered a lower income district and a portion of the funds would be used to purchase essentials for the students every day learning. The excitement lies in investing in extra materials that would give students a more hands on experience.

   Miss Husarik has experienced the difference manipulatives and hands on learning can make in helping a student not just memorize a lesson, but use it as a building block for everyday life.  She would invest the funds to increase reading material  and hands on material that could be used over and over again to reinforce object lessons, special projects and creative exploration. 

   She has seen an increase in fostering crucial reading skills as activity motivates students to develop a hunger for reading not only to attain knowledge but to pursue their own interests.

GET HEALTH INSURANCE NOW-TAX GLITCH!

ENROLL FOR HEALTHCARE NOW
Special Circumstances Extension
Last Chance Until 2016-Avoid Growing Penalties!
     Those who missed the health insurance deadline are in for a lucky break.  A second chance is being given to enroll for health insurance and avoid taxes and penalties for 2015.  A short window of an open enrollment session will begin on March 15, 1015 and last until April 15, 2015. This unusual break from the preset protocol comes as people applying for insurance were able to get confirmation numbers but unable to be verified.  

     Government database servers were overloaded and processes could not be finished by those who began before the deadline. Some found, as they filed their taxes they had a penalty to pay and still did not have insurance.  If you fall into that category, you can use this special circumstance period to purchase health insurance, be covered for the 2015 year and avoid paying higher fines next year.

     There are a few other circumstances that may allow you to take advantage of this health insurance grace period.  If you applied for medicaid but did not qualify and found out after the deadline expired, you are eligible to apply now.
     If there are some complex circumstances that happened in your life, you may be eligible to enroll for health insurance now without penalty.

     Our trained professionals can determine if you have special circumstances that enable you to take advantage of this window of opportunity.  This can save you hundreds of dollars for an individual plan or thousands for a family plan.
