Sharp pencils


Pencils, Pencils, Pencils!
  
    
This week we had an issue with our pencil sharpener.  One of my darlings decided to sharpen a stubby pencil and got it stuck in the heavy duty electric pencil sharpener.  I took the sharpener down to the maintenance department to see what they could do.   Luckily, a pair of needle nose pliers came to the rescue.  The stubby pencil was no longer jammed into the pencil sharpener. Yeah!

   My friend, Jullian, suggested that I make some signs for my pencil sharpeners. So here is the result.  The good thing is that my students have started to think about the size of their pencil ahead of time. 



Enjoy the weekend and the sunshine.   Spring is right around the corner!

Almost lost my voice

        This week was a little rough.   I started to lose my voice.  When it goes, it goes.  So, I told my kids that I could only speak in a very  quiet voice.  They too began speaking in very quiet voices when  called on to answer a question or speak to the class as a whole.  They really didn't get it, but at least it became quieter in my room. 
       One of my lovely girls made this this very cute Get Well card. 

   
      My kids make all the difference in the world.   
They are the BEST.
