Pencil challenge

Hi there! Soooo, it's been a long time since I blogged...seriously, a LONG time. But, I posted a little picture on my IG account that I didn't think anything about. It had pencils, a sharpener, marker, tape, and scissors in it. Whatever, just another Sunday night as a teacher. Well next thing I knew, this little picture went viral!!

Have you heard about "Pencil Wars" or the "Great Pencil Challenge" to keep your classroom stocked with pencils? Forget those! I have the EASIEST method for you to keep pencils available, ready, and sharpened for the week and this system will work ALL YEAR with an added incentive. I promise you will have pencils left at the end of the school year and wonder why you never did this before! This will work for all grade levels but focuses on the elementary level. #pencilclassroommanagement

Pencils. That's all I have to say and your heart starts to beat a little faster right? What is it about pencils that can be so frustrating in an elementary classroom? Well, I took the liberty of making a little list.....from a student point of view: Pencil sharpeners are fun. You can stick in a perfectly good pencil and chew it down to nothing if you push hard enough. What kid can resist that? Those erasers are YUMMY! NOT having a pencil makes that funny vein stick out on your teachers neck…
