The year before I joined Simis the 4th grade teachers did a huge project where everyone taught the book The Phantom Tollbooth. They bought the books and all the supplies. All of them thought it was a lot of fun.
Last year no one did anything with it except for Chris. (he's the teacher next door.) I saw him teaching it and really wanted to join in. I LOVE that book. Only problem with me joining in is that I don't have any of the materials because I am the 7th classroom, and they only have the things for 6 classrooms.
I've gone to all of my colleagues and asked if I could have their class set of the books. The answer I've gotten from Every Single One of them is "Oh... well... I might do it."
Might. They MIGHT do it. No matter that the next quarter is only a month away, they "might" do it. And that "might" is enough for them to not let me use their set. I'm "defiantly" going to do it. AND the sets don't belong to them. They belong to the school and should be placed where they are going to be used.
Right now I'm looking into alternate funding sources- DonersChoose and also looking to see if our Parent Teacher organization might be willing to spring the $200 to help me get everything for it.
All in all I'm just really frustrated. I'll be even more frustrated if they end up not teaching it and I can't get my hands on the books in time. Because then they will have stopped me from using the resources of the school, while also having not used the gosh darned things too!! AROEIUAROEIURA:!
