Possibly a strange request?...
|
Hi there guys
Admittedly, this is a little off topic, but I can�t think of a better place to ask this question than to a forum full of teachers!!
While I understand that many of you may have whiteboards, and the very privileged may even have interactive boards, but in my school we are still using blackboards!!
It seems a silly problem, but after a day of writing on the board, holding chalk, the skin on my hands becomes rough, and I can�t wait to get home to moisturise them!!
What Im looking for is some kind of a chalk holder, if anyone knows where I can buy one, like ebay or something, could they let me know please?
thanks
sarah

I tried to use a holder and either the chalk kept falling all the time or it broke. So now I keep a box of wet tissues like the ones for babies at hand and I clean my hands with them. They are quite moistening and keep my hands soft. This is like an ad!

I have a plastic chalk holder -and I love it.
The chalk doesn�t break and it keeps most of the chalk off my hands.
Why don�t you wash your hands after class and carry moisturizer in your school bag?

going from class to class I wouldn�t have time to visit the bathroom to wash my hands each time. I do this when I get the chance, but to be perfectly honest, I also hate the feel of the chalk on my hands!!!
The pictures of those chalk holders above look brilliant!

Well the problem with chalks more than my hand�s caring, its the breathing problems they cause because of the dust they expulse, even the non allergic ones. I am more sorry for my lungs, throat and voice than my hands indeed.
Although, I know what you mean, Im sure those plastic chalk holders wil be the best. They don�t exist in Peru as far as I am unknown- what a pitty!!
P.s I want those plastic chalk holders, would they have it on amazone? or ebay? If you have a webpage to buy it online and get it in Peru, it�d be awesome. I work with white board, interactive wall as well and use markers but still, I might not be so lucky in other schools. |

I was in the same situation once. :( That was years ago and noone heard about "plastic chalk holders". We used to make them from old lipstik containers :) Just put chalk inside instead of lipstik and you�ll be able to twist it out and back and cover it. Very comfortable!! |

In Portugal, almost all the stationers have chalk holders, I have one just like the ones on �the picture libertybelle sent! Even the School book editors sometimes send�chalk holders as a gift when the school adopts their books!
If you are really desperate, I can send you one!�
