Banked Extra Credit*
If you are looking for a way to get a little extra cushion** from the very first day of school and want to do your shopping while there are great "back to school" specials abound, then check out the following list...
- Notebook Paper (College Ruled 8 1/2" x 11")
- 3-Ring Binders of Various Sizes
- Tab Dividers
- Clear Sheet Protectors
- Paper Clips (Jumbo Sized)
- Binder Clips (Various Sizes)
- Lined Index Cards (White or Colored)
- White Out Correction Tape
- Three hole punch
- Stapler
- Staples
- Kleenex
- Ricola Cough Drops
- Non-Latex Band Aids
- Water
- Dixie Cups (bathroom size)
- Clorox Wipes
- Hand Sanitizer
- Paper Towels
- Plastic Utensils
- Paper Plates
- Candy (Individually Wrapped/Snack Sized Like Halloween Candy) for games
- Granola Bars/Cereal Bars/100 Calorie Packs etc. for the starving students who find their way to my classroom
- Teen novels for the classroom library
These are all things that you may have used in my classroom in the past, and will probably continue to do so this up coming year. Banked Extra Credit Points will be awarded according to the estimated value of items donated.
*Remember that "Banked Extra Credit" is extra credit that is earned for non-academic things/help/activities (i.e., bringing in and donating some of the above supplies, help setting up or cleaning up the classroom, organizing a fund raiser for CSF/NHS etc.). A student can withdraw from their banked extra credit at the end of the term to have the balance added into their course grade if and only if they do not have any missing assignments for the semester. Banked extra credit from the first semester may be rolled over to the second semester.
**Banked Extra Credit can not exceed 5% of total grade for the semester.
