The emotions can be overwhelming, but one quickly finds how hard of a time it can be financially as well. The cost of a funeral can add up quickly, and the last thing someone needs to worry about in such a difficult time is if they will be able to cover the funeral expenses. That is why planning ahead to find a policy that fits your needs is critical. Besides the peace of mind that a final expense insurance policy offers, it also offers never changing premiums, a policy that accumulates a cash value and permanent coverage making it a wise investment decision for your future.

Highlands and Village Oaks Elementary schools along with Collier County reading coaches and district personnel gathered at Highlands on Wednesday, Aug. 15, to learn more about reciprocal teaching.

As a follow up training Mrs. Oczkus returned to Highlands on Tuesday, Sept. 25 and Wednesday, Sept. 26. Instructional and administrative staff members observed the expert teach students in primary and in- termediate classrooms. In fi rst grade, we selected a nonfi ction text about properties from our National Geographic science curriculum. She engaged students by using puppets including: Paula the Powerful Predictor, Quincy the Questioner, Clara the Clarifi er and Sammy the Summarizer as we read the text. Afterwards, students role played with different types of hand bags Lori had brought in to represent purchasing at the local market. Around the guided reading table, it was extremely effective and powerful to watch Lori implement the strategies of looking up at the ceiling and grabbing a word and karate chopping unknown words to help our students clarify. I returned to our classroom two minutes after the opportunity and began implementing instruction with students. Highlands Elementary third grade teacher Will Staros shared, “Lori began her lesson with an introduction to the Fab Four and worked it in as a review of the four components. As each student named one of the four she created a graphic organizer on chart paper. This then led into the text, which was slightly diffi cult, but the topic was bears. She modeled the strategies with her costumes and taught the class the hand motions and how to draw pictures to go with her prediction phase. The class created a four door foldable that they recorded their responses in.” 6 Immokalee Bulletin October 18, 2012
