My Project

Please help to give my classroom a new electric pencil sharpener.

A good pencil sharpener is a must in every classroom.

Teachers and students use them daily in order to have a good writing tool to work with. Over the years, I have bought so many different types of pencil sharpeners hoping to find one that would stand the test of time. I have not found that gem yet! Because of their constant use, pencil sharpeners do not usually last throughout the entire school year. Our pencil sharpener we have this year has stopped working and we are in desperate need of a new one.
