Well, who has time to sharpen pencils now, with all the other things we need to do in the classroom?!?! NOT this girl! So, I decided to try out the Classroom Friendly Supplies Pencil Sharpener when I saw that they made it in PINK! SWOON!!!!!!!!

Kids were in love that they could actually sharpen their own pencils now, and I liked it because I could move it anywhere I wanted (if it happened to be in the way).

My current crank installed one is now behind a construction paper shelf, so it's useless...

I love mine too! I wasn't sure how I would feel about kids sharpening all the live-long day, but it's so quiet and nice, I don't even mind! :-)
