Pencils, Pencils, Pencils!
Have you had a hard time this year with your pencil sharpener?
I had about 2 big pencil sharpeners that cost me $50.00 each. Then I got two of the smaller new ones found at Target or various supply stores. They were around $20.00 each. So I'm now up to 4-5 electric pencil sharpeners, but still left with a HUGE problem! The students make too much noise when they sharpen, the pencils do not sharpen in a timely manner, and when they finally get to the point where the pencil is sharpened, it breaks! My cousin is also a teacher and I saw on her Facebook post that she was so excited that she got a new pencil sharpener. I was intrigued so I looked up the company name and did some research. The name of the company is called,
Classroom Friendly Supplies.
You can locate their website: http://www.classroomfriendlysupplies.com
I read through their website and realized that I could possibly get one for FREE to review; therefore, I did and I was approved! Here is a video that shows you some more!
I chose the Precious Pink Sharpener to review.
My sharpener came very quickly and I started using it right away in the classroom.
To my shock, this thing is the real deal. It sharpened really fast and it was extremely quiet. I had an entire class set of pencils sharpened in less than 10 min. Then I wanted to see if my first graders could work this sharpener all on their own. Here are some pictures of them and some of the finished products.
This is what the mounting looks like. It is very easy to do and does not need tools or messes up the furniture.
Look at that point!
This is Taryn's true reaction to her sharpened pencil! She was so excited that it worked the first time and with so much ease. I was also very happy too!
These sharpeners are not that expensive but they have done the best job of sharpening a pencil that I have ever seen. I will be getting another one myself. I just need to figure out which color to choose next!
