It had to come to this..... I honestly don't know how but I think my classroom eats pencils! I swear every single day one of my students loses a grey lead pencil. It is driving me bananas!
So to fix the problem I bought a tub of pencils and found a great resource on TPT (you can find it here) and my fingers are crossed that this will encourage the children to look after their pencils! The aim is to be the last person left with the grey lead pencil. I'm not sure how long the challenge will last but I hope for at least the rest of the term! I will keep you all posted!
