Administration only ordered traditional wall mounted sharpeners and claimed kids were bringing cheap pencils that wouldn't sharpen...even though brand new sharpener sharpened one side of expensive pencils I purchased at office supply store. I bought numerous electric sharpeners that would last a semester or maybe two if I was lucky. Pencils used to be such a stressful issue...EVERY day. But NOT ANY MORE! I simply put out 2 of these green dreams (bought 2 of the same color to eliminate the whole "I want to use the blue, red, pink one" temptation), taught them how to use them, require students to make sure they have 3 sharp pencils every morning, posted an "I'm too short to sharpen" pencil model and now I VERY rarely hear anything about pencil sharpening! Oh yes, it's first grade teacher heaven!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01416430107059455712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305597717956933530.post-25070249321052500632013-11-24T12:49:11.379-07:002013-11-24T12:49:11.379-07:00Go for it!!
