I love my job but there is a part of it that is not so awesome. I want to give my students every opportunity but there is one thing standing in the way- money. Thanks to a spending freeze in the district this is a list of purchases I've had to make that I won't be able to afford long:
1. I spent $97 to get play scripts so we can get started for the play- It's another $75 for the rights
2. I will be spending $80 to get copies of Frankenstein for all of my students. That's the dover thrift edition.
3. I have spent over $30 for mask supplies for my theater classes to practice "Greek Theater"
4. I have gone through 4 reams of paper trying to get copies of materials for students- all of which the is getting charged to my name.
5. I need to spend $20-30 to get speakers for my computer so the students can hear the sound from my computer.
6. $50 getting books and materials for me to have to be able to teach the students well.
7. $30 buying Monroe gear from student fundraisers.
8. $30 on "Lunch Bunch" purchases (Program run by Special Education dept)
In good news though, I am only $147 short of getting one class set of Maus thanks to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and my great friends! (http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=213396) Of course I'll need that set since the only books in the book room for that unit were read by the kids in 9th grade.
