Extra Credit Opportunities:

Monthly Extra Credit opportunities are posted in the
classroom. At the start of each month, a new month's
worth of extra credit assignments becomes available.
Each month, students have the opportunity to earn 50
to 100 points extra credit! Just by completing the
projects on the extra credit handout, students can
earn some extra points to bring up their grades!
Tissues and Lysol:

I'll award 10 points for each can of Lysol spray,
each box of tissues, and each tub of
Lysol/Clorox wipes brought in. Germs spread
quickly in the lab and since I don't have a
homeroom, I'll award extra credit for each
cleaning supply brought in. I'll also award points
for paper towels, Windex/glass cleaner, and
EXTRA extra points for cans of compressed air
(to clean out keyboards) and other cleaning
supplies brought in.

Thanks for your generosity!
