My child says her class has two cans and they can take a sharpened pencil and leave a dull or broken one during the day. One of the coveted classroom jobs is sharpening the pencils in the dull can

And I recently visited my third grade classroom. The wall mounted sharpener was still there!

Thank you! My kindergarten list has a 'pair of black socks' and I had no idea what they could be for.
