By smartcubs Hello, young learners! I am a blackboard. My name is Chalky, and I am here to tell you the story of my life. From the factory where I was made to the classroom where I live, my journey has been full of exciting moments. Let’s explore my story together!
My Birth in the Factory
My life began in a busy factory. Workers used large machines to shape me from a big piece of slate. They smoothed my surface and painted me black. I was excited to become a blackboard and help students learn. After all the finishing touches, I was ready to begin my journey.
How I Was Made
- Shaped from slate
- Smoothed and painted
- Given a wooden frame
The Journey to the School
Once I was finished, I was carefully packed and sent to a school. The journey was bumpy, but I was excited to see where I would be placed. The school was full of noise and laughter. I knew I would be a part of many fun and learning moments.
My New Home: The Classroom
I was placed in a bright, cheerful classroom. The teacher, Mrs. Gupta, was very kind and happy to have me. She cleaned my surface and wrote, “Welcome to Class 4!” with white chalk. I felt proud to be in the classroom and ready to help the students learn.
My Classroom Duties
- Display important information
- Help with math problems
- Show new vocabulary words
Daily Life with Students
Every day, the students would come to class and look at me. Mrs. Gupta would write lessons, draw pictures, and solve problems on my surface. The students paid attention and learned many new things. I loved seeing their smiling faces when they understood a new concept.

Special Moments
I have witnessed many special moments in the classroom. I remember the day when the students drew a big, colorful rainbow on my surface for art class. Another time, we celebrated Diwali, and Mrs. Gupta wrote “Happy Diwali!” with beautiful decorations. These moments made me feel very special.
Memorable Events

Facing Challenges
Being a blackboard is not always easy. Sometimes, I get very dusty from the chalk. Other times, students accidentally scratch me with their nails. But Mrs. Gupta and the students take good care of me. They clean me every day with a damp cloth, making sure I am ready for the next lesson.
How I Stay Clean
- Wiped daily with a damp cloth
- Deep cleaned every week
- Avoiding sharp objects
Growing Old
As time passed, I started to show signs of wear and tear. My surface became a bit scratched, and my frame got some chips. The school decided to replace me with a new whiteboard. It was time for me to retire. Even though I was no longer used every day, I was placed in a storeroom where I could still see the students sometimes.
My Life Now
- Resting in the storeroom
- Watching students from afar
- Holding memories of many lessons
Thank you for listening to my story, dear friends. Remember, every blackboard has its own journey and special moments. Take care of your blackboards, and they will help you learn and grow.
