I second the pencil sharpener suggestion. I had crappy ones the first two years and then purchased this one. Much, much better!
I am trying to find it. I don't see it on Amazon. It was X-Acto brand. They have others like it, but not mine. This one is similar, but definitely not it. A pro is that it is cheaper!
I'll just copy and paste to you.

I highly recommend this (click here) one instead. It has a blue indicator light that says when to stop sharpening. It's the only kind I hear from everyone that students don't quickly destroy because they know when to stop jamming the pencil in. I love mine, but it's only been about 3 months since I got it.
This one. There's a light that lights up when the pencil is fully sharpened so you don't constantly have students taking the pencil in and out to see if it's done. It's also great for littler kids. I noticed my 2nd graders seemed to be guided by the thing on how to sharpen your pencil.

It's not like I have had it for decades, and I only use it for personal stuff, but I haven't had any problems with it and it feels very solid.

This one! I am so excited I got such a great deal on it and can’t wait for it to arrive!
