I do get hung up on the number of people who read my blog (or the lack of them). Maybe it is a balange between my ego, my personal reflective learning and my ability to write what others want to read...<br />David<br /><br />davidw.edublogs.orgDavidWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493377484412039911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7149716969262972471.post-33030599672914973002013-04-07T12:35:14.856-07:002013-04-07T12:35:14.856-07:00Just so you know, I have the same sharpener, and I...Just so you know, I have the same sharpener, and I think you are missing a step - <br /><br />Before you put the pencil in, you should pull the metal part out. It's not to "check the progress of the sharpening," but to actually stop it once it's done.<br /><br />So, the actual steps - <br /><br />1. Pull the shiny metal part out<br />2. Pinch the clamps and insert the pencil through the shiny metal and red holes.<br />3. Put one hand on the sharpener crank and the other on top of the sharpener. Do NOT hold the pencil at all.<br />4. Turn the crank until you feel it swing free.<br />5. Pinch the clamp and remove the pencil.<br /><br />Note: Depending on how sharp the pencil was when it went in, you may be done sharpening very quickly. You'll know because you'll feel the crank spin free.Kerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004000026380773406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7149716969262972471.post-83310592952024162802013-04-03T17:52:39.295-07:002013-04-03T17:52:39.295-07:00LOL!

Well, SOME of us do. :)<br /><br />I'm teaching 5/6 history this year and probably going to be 6th ALL subjects next year. SO-we can naviagate CCS together even though you are middle school. Close enough right?? :)<br /><br />Shannon<br />http://www.irunreadteach.wordpress.com<br />Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13149662695273911122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7149716969262972471.post-75771587041110428822013-04-03T14:03:16.289-07:002013-04-03T14:03:16.289-07:00Welcome back to ELA!
