Home-School Pencil Sharpening activity with Arajah, Zenairoh, and Selena

This is a pencil sharpening activity we did today.  Pencils do need sharpening.  We use some of the manual style pencil sharpeners.  We try not to use any electrical or high-tech gadgets for pencils.  It is not necessary.  Take a look at some of these traditional, old-fashioned pencil sharpeners.  They need to be bolted down.  But we had them without bolting to a furniture surface.  It would be nice to attach these sharpeners to a school desk or table in the School-House!  Maybe that will be an activity we can do in the near future.





Thanks for looking! Now we have pencils for writing and drawing!

Let's use our brains and think about it!! The BRAIN is a "terrible thing to waste". We accept technology and we use it....
