When should I sharpen my pencil?
Make sure you have a sharpened pencil at the beginning of class.
If you need to sharpen your pencil….. if you have your own sharpener, use it. If you need to use the classroom sharpener, you may quietly do so IF we are working independently. If we are in the middle of a lesson or someone is talking to the class, wait until after.
You may take a sharpened pencil from the blue basket if you need one and you cannot sharpen your pencil.
Go the quickest route to the sharpener. Sharpen quickly and quietly.
Do not interrupt others while sharpening your pencil.
