I am not always pleased with their results but I always love how happy it makes them. It must be harder for teachers with large classes. I have the luxury of small groups. I put chalk on my requisition list this year so I have a big supply for the year. <br />I am like you with my DigiLit Sunday. I wanted to try creating a round up. I have some loyal followers, but it hasn't been as successful as I had hoped. What is the magic formula for getting others involved? I wish I knew.

The other thing is that I'm just not big into the chalk medium. Maybe it's because I don't have quality chalk. Not sure. Anyway, I'm going to put my $ where my mouth is. You send me the name of the kind of sidewalk chalk to use and I will buy it and COMMIT to doing Chalkabration this month.Stacey Shubitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903206728640184043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042407720611831077.post-69841625120450400252014-10-01T06:27:22.261-04:002014-10-01T06:27:22.261-04:00Of course you can do it today!

It was on my calendar the whole month, and I kept pushing it further down my list. Now I'm sorry. Ugh. Next time?<br /><br />I'm glad you are going to keep doing it. It brings you and others joy.

The way you feel today about chalkabration is the way I feel about book fairies. We dress up once a year during homecoming week as book fairies...people aren't feeling it this year. I did it anyway. It brought join and happiness to me and to the students. It sounds like chalkabration does the same thing on a monthly basis. Thanks for the inspiration!Beth Scanlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03013556968803038443noreply@blogger.com
