  Case: Pencils!
My students are constantly sharpening pencils in the classroom. I started them off the school year with individual pencils and bag, but this method doesn't seem to work. They get up during every block of the day. What do you suggest I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Pencils and more pencils!! They always see to 'break' as soon as it is work time. A lot of people use the whole 'trade a pencil' technique which is a great idea. However, it always seems everyone needs a new pencil at the same time so the 'sharp' container is always empty! I would recommend having a container at each table area with sharpened pencils where they won't have to get up to trade pencils. Also, having a small handheld pencil sharpener at each table will eliminate the constant getting out of seats. As we all know, when the pencil sharpeners become very full it makes a HUGE mess! I would recommend having a table helper that empties the pencil shavings out at the end of each day.
