Help! Our first graders are starting to have biceps like Arnold Schwarzenegger! We are in desperate need of quality electric pencil sharpeners. I teach at a school in the heart of "Cajun Country" in which we have many at-risk students, as well as, being one of the host schools for students residing in local shelters. Our school thrives on providing a diverse education for all our students.
Our classrooms are equipped with those "old-fashioned" pencil sharpeners that require my first graders to crank with great force in order to get their little pencils sharpened. We even nicknamed it "The Little Gopher" because it just "chews up the wood!" Several times during the day I have to assist my students when sharpening pencils because they have so much difficulty getting the job done. How wonderful, if they could do it all by themselves!
With the electric sharpeners my students can be independent and not waste valuable time. Pleases help us "get to the point" of learning.
