Every year Tracy & Fizz hear from more and more teachers around Colorado about their struggles having to personally purchase school supplies for their classrooms, and so as Summer comes to a close we come together to help “Clear the List!”
98.5 KYGO and Tracy & Fizz’s 3rd Annual Clear The List is back to help our educators get access to the supplies needed to help their students succeed in the upcoming school year!
Ms. Taylor from Sage Canyon Elementary
Ms. Taylor teaches second grade at Sage Canyon Elementary – this is Ms. Taylor’s first year teaching, and she is excited to begin her career in education! Since she is starting fresh with a new classroom, her wishlist is comprised of a bunch of items that will be useful to both her and her students as they kick off the school year!
Ms. Trudgian from Aurora Frontier
Our list is super fun because it’s a two for one! My mom and I teach together and would be sharing the materials on this list. I’m on my seventh year and my mom is in her 26th! We love second grade! Our list includes bins to update our libraries, clocks, fidgets for our kiddos to spend their earned tickets for behavior on and much more. We would truly be thankful for anything and appreciate the support we receive!
Mrs. Henry from Murphy Creek Elementary
I just recently moved from teaching first grade to fifth grade at the same school, and I’m thrilled to see the same kids again. My wishlist is a little longer than usual because of the move! I want to make sure fifth grade stays fun and engaging, so I’ve included art supplies and community-building games to help build a strong, creative classroom environment. There are also some teacher organization tools on my list to help me stay on top of everything, and a selection of chapter books for something new Im excited to try called First Chapter Friday. Thank you for clearing any of these items off my list. It is greatly appreciated!!
Ms Whalen – Teaches 6th Grade at Highline Academy
This is my second year as a 6th grade math teacher and my 19th year teaching. We learn about fractions and decimals, which have their own difficulties, but graphing! Oh boy. Students transition from just one quadrant in 5th grade, to all 4 quadrants in 6th. They have to learn how to count on the negative and positive number lines. Plot points. Find the distance between points. Find reflections of points. Having these graphing boards and markers will keep the students focused on the counting and plotting and not on drawing graphs!
Miss Thomas – Teaches Kindergarten at Independence Elementary in Aurora.
Miss Thomas has been teaching in Aurora for the past eight years, serving at a Title I school where many of her students come from low-income families. Teaching in this community is incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with challenges, as resources are often limited.
Helping clear Miss Thomas list would directly impacting dozens of bright, eager young learners who deserve every opportunity to succeed. Your support would not just help me as a teacher it would change the daily learning experience for my students, giving them the foundation they need for a lifetime of achievement
