Pencil Sharpener Pals

     I implemented Pencil Sharpener Pals in my classroom a few years ago.  Students in my classroom don't sharpen pencils.  I collect all the pencils students bring to school and place in zip lock bags.  I send a bag of pencils home with a student whose parents signed up to be a Pencil Sharpener Pal.  The parents keep the bag for a week to have enough time to sharpen pencils.  I place sharpened pencils in my sharpened pencils basket.  When a pencil breaks or needs to be sharpen they place it in the NOT Sharpened basket.

Back to School Night

We had our Back to School open house night this week.  I placed a sign in sheet for parents and important information set up on a table.  I also included my Pencil Pal sign up and my Ready Confetti for students.
