My Project

We've gone through 3 pencil sharpeners this year and I am really hoping to find one of quality to support our classroom! I teach two different classes totally 55 students so our pencil sharpeners really get use! As you know pencils are important and we use them daily!

In addition to the quality sharpener, I included some fun pencils to help excite and motivate our students as we work through the remainder of the year!

We just need a few basics and we would be so appreciative if you would be able to support our classroom!
