So sorry I've been M.I.A. lately!!! Dealing with some stuff...you know the deal. :-)
I wanted to share one of the smartest things I've done this year.... to save me some serious wasted time!!!!
I HATE sharpening pencils. I love my new Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener, but hate taking the time to stand there and sharpen when I have a bazillion other things I should be doing; like
So... I had parents sign up to take home pencils. I sell them on the fact that it's something the kids can do to learn responsibility! And it keeps their kids busy for 20 minutes while they watch Dancing with the Stars...!
They sign up for one night per week, and I send home the pencils and a pencil sharpener (NOT my new Classroom Friendly one!!! Because nobody gets to touch that except me!!!)
Then the kids come in the morning with a big smile and all of the sharpened pencils and I didn't waste ANY time!
