My Project

After many years of teaching, my last pencil sharpener has finally died. I am looking at replacing them within my classroom. One will be used as a teacher only sharpener and the other two will be at our writing center and our classroom supply center. It's also the time of year where we are gearing up for summer school and I am in need of a way to organize student materials in the space I will be using this summer. I will place it near my reading table to organize book groups. The pens will be to color code things as well as a fun tool to use this summer.
