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 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
