Everyone across the first row would sniff deeply the fragrance of the blue evaporating liquid, and then hand the stack back, to those poor kids whose first name was lower in the alphabet. (To Jeff, Randy, Steven and then Tommy.) Of course, those kids took their wrath out on us by throwing the chalky erasers at us when the teacher was out of the room. <BR/>Ok, heading off to eBay to see what the going rate for antique chalk is going for...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999647.post-80272137509985835452007-09-07T12:45:00.000-04:002007-09-07T12:45:00.000-04:00oh awesome. mimeo was extinct by the time i hit sc...oh awesome. mimeo was extinct by the time i hit school but mum had some from her teaching days and i loved them so much more than the copies ...<BR/><BR/>good chalk is hard to find. i love chalk though. i communicate ideas much easier with it than with whiteboards or other things...Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349520446458604748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999647.post-7626048819943800392007-09-07T10:11:00.000-04:002007-09-07T10:11:00.000-04:00Thanks for the trip down memory lane--Delaney card...Thanks for the trip down memory lane--Delaney cards and chalk! <BR/><BR/>When I worked in a high school and didn't use the same room all day, one never knew what would go missing from a classroom during the day. So I made sure I toted around my own chalk and eraser.<BR/><BR/>The eraser was such a precious commodity that, when I accepted a job that was out of the classroom, I held a lottery in my department as to who would inherit it!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148951618268587008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999647.post-43563689090541446322007-09-07T08:14:00.000-04:002007-09-07T08:14:00.000-04:00So this is what Delaney cards are . . .

I liked it. Pity we don't use these anymore - prolly not save for the environment.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01263352882360078134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999647.post-84830040517578589862007-09-06T22:48:00.000-04:002007-09-06T22:48:00.000-04:00Ohhhh love that chalk.

Actually at times I've been able to remember patient names by 'seeing' the notes I wrote on them.<BR/> When I was in 1st through 4th grades I attended a small rural school that had two grades to a room. My 1st-2nd grade teacher rewarded the classes by allowing them drawing time on the blackboard if they'd done their work quietly while she worked with the other group. And on Friday, you could use the colored chalk that lived in her personal cigar box! *G* How naive we were..and maybe grew up to be cheap dates!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999647.post-54920863838397646202007-09-06T22:47:00.000-04:002007-09-06T22:47:00.000-04:00I believe I got where I am in life today by sniffi...I believe I got where I am in life today by sniffing the mimeo!<BR/><BR/>Ahhhhh...the sweet smells of education.
