The Cursed Pencil Sharpener

I visited a 4th grade classroom where each student had one of these — a t-shirt that was stuffed, sewed, and used as a reading pillow.

The teacher told me that the students bring in an old shirt at the beginning of the year, and parent volunteers help each student stuff their own shirt pillow before sewing it closed. 

The teacher also told me that the students take the pillows home every two weeks so that the parents can wash them.

Given, this is a school with an incredible amount of parent involvement, but I LOVE the idea!

I love it too!
