I know you've seen these around on the internet:
I heard that they are super quiet, but didn't think much of them. Then my electric pencil sharpener died... again. I went through 4 heavy-duty electric pencil sharpeners in 2 years - not kidding!! Most of it wasn't my fault, but things happen when your room in unattended during track outs. One broke due to a crayon incident, another, due to a bang on the floor. The last one sounded like it was dying for weeks before it finally stopped. The irony - none of them sharpened very well. My class perfected a twisting motion as you sharpen to avoid the "I'm only gonna sharpen on one side for you" attitude that these sharpeners had. Enough is enough. The 4th sharpener is off-limits to students, so it has held up well. That leaves the dilemma of when students need to sharpen their own pencils because they have a special pencil from the prize box, etc.
I contacted Troy from Classroom Friendly Supplies to see if I could get one to review for my blog, and he was so helpful! My groovy green sharpener arrived within 3 days, with tracking updates, and looked super cool.
Look at that point! Love it! All of our pencils come out like that, even the cheap-o ones that were a penny from Staples a couple weeks ago. Visit Troy from Classroom Friendly Supplies to order yours now!!
Here's a video that shows how easy it is to use!!
