Smiley Face Papers

I love me classroom and all the bright, fun colors. One of the first things I got was a bright yellow tissue box cover from Joy and it sits on the corner of my desk. While there aren’t many runny noses, tissues are great for cleaning dry erase boards or sweaty faces after recess so I pass them out often. One day during class as we were cleaning up Vardy raised his hand and asked, “Miss, can I have a… a… a smiley face paper!”  I took me a second but I couldn’t help smile at his resourcefulness when the word “tissue” escaped him.
