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!) I would have a basket of sharpened pencils that students are able to access during the lesson. They can put their broken pencils in a basket when they grab a new one. Students will still be getting up, but at least you won't have the noise as an extra distraction. When they take a pencil, they will have to place one in another in the "broken" basket.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I concur.
