Yes, it’s that time of year again. TISSUE BOX TIME!

Please bring in ONE unopened box of tissues for the class to use during sniffles season. Make sure your name and hour are clearly labeled on the box.  Please use a Sharpie or other marker, and please do not use a color that is hard to see or read.

You will receive 5 easy extra credit points.

If you bring your box of tissues on Monday or Tuesday, you will receive one “early bird” extra point for a total of 6 points.

The last day to turn in tissue boxes is Friday, January 15, 2016.

This is the ONLY tissue box extra credit offer for the rest of this school year.

Educational note: Napkins are NOT the same as tissues. Napkins are used at meal times. Kleenex is not the same as tissues. Kleenex is a company that MAKES tissues.
