Can I sharpen my pencil?


Is pencil sharpening off limits in your classroom? I can’t stand students using my electric sharpener even if it’s for a quick second. The electric ones are too loud and my wall sharpener is always falling off into the trashcan. Well, today I tried out a new pencil sharpener called The Quietest Classroom Pencil Sharpener. It’s AMAZING! Troy Decoff is a fellow teacher and the owner of Classroom Friendly supplies. He was kind enough to let me test out this wonderful sharpener. I ordered on Saturday and it was sitting on my doorstep Monday afternoon. This sharpener was so easy to use. It sharpened the pencils perfectly each time. I have never seen pencils get this sharp. It has a clamp but I tried it out without the clamp. I would definitely recommend this sharpener to other teachers. My favorite part is how sharp the pencils are after sharpening. My kids love sharp pencils so I can’t wait to show them in the fall. I know that this sharpener will be enjoyed by my students for many years. Thanks again Troy!
This sharpener can be purchased online from Classroom Friendly Supplies. You can also find additional videos, reviews, and pictures on their website.

  1. I am completely in agreement with you! I really do not let students sharpen pencils often during class because it's loud and disruptive. You are not the first person who has recommended this sharpener, so maybe I need to take that as a big hint and order myself one! :)

    Thanks for sharing this!

  3. This is awesome! Wow, not having taught yet, I haven't even thought about these types of things. They aren't teaching us about that in college haha. This will be a great addition to my classroom.

    I'd love to hear your feedback on my blogpost today...I am looking for some experienced teachers' advice on a touchy subject. Thanks!
