My Project

You don’t realize how much you use an item until it is gone. This was my class when our beloved pencil sharpener stopped working. I originally was gifted the pencil sharpener when I graduated from university.

After 6 very dedicated years of sharpening hundreds of pencils, the sharpener has stopped working.

Students often need to sharpen crayons, colored pencils, and regular pencils.

After six years I have realized that we need to have three separate sharpeners. One for colored pencils and one for crayons to expand the life of our pencil sharpener.
