Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener

So, my 101 in 1001 needs to be updated.  I didn't do well.  However, one thing I'm always trying to improve on is my classroom.  I'm hoping to get a Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener for it.  These look great. Apparently it loves alllllll kinds of pencils, so I think it's a good fit for my room.   I found it on Pinterest and they hold a monthly contest. 

Fingers crossed!

Updated my 1001!

My friend Angie recently reminded me of her 101 in 1001 blog. I then realized I had not updated mine for a bit.

15. Road Trip in Illinois - My mom and I took a trip to Morris, Illinois to see the Bonneurs, who were our next door neighbors until 1974.

20. Take a family vacation - Not sure if this actually qualifies....just me and my mom went to Denver in June 2009 for Melissa Scholten-Gutierrez's wedding.

28. Read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - I read this in March/April of 2009.

35. Finish Master’s Degree - Completed my M.S. in Ed on June 28, 2009!

58. Workout 5 days in a wk. (5/5) - I've been going to Totally Fit! Woo!

65. Give up diet soda for 1 wk. - I gave up all soda for Lent this year!

66. Moisturize daily for a week - I have been moisturizing every day since school was out in June 2009. What a difference.
