K.N.
The only thing I've even noticed is my son's school won't allow anything but the yellow because they mess up the pencil sharpeners. otherwise yes they are number 2 pencils. (and i refuse to send my kids to school with 101 pencils or 6 extra folders and all the other crazy junk, because teachers do pool such things and I shouldn't have to pay for other students supplies, some teachers even SELL the supplies back to the kids, I keep my supplies at home and let them take what they need and replenish as needed, but maybe that's just me)
