Every classroom teacher knows, the drama pencils can cause in the classroom.  As a high school art teacher, Karen (my other half here at the classroom creative) can attest that the theatrics with pencils continues well into high school.  Having taught both the primary grades and junior high, I had various systems that I will share in a later post (with freebies attached of course).

First, let’s turn to the teacher blogging world to see how the others among us handle managing and organizing pencils in the classroom: a small, but annoying issue.  If you have any ideas to share, we’d love to feature you! Please shoot us an email.
