| Tarbell Hill One Room Schoolhouse in Cavendish |
The Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) recently conducted a program
for the Cavendish Town Elementary School (CTES) third graders on one-room
schoolhouses. In addition to making their own chalkboards, the directions
provided below, which they will use for math classes the next few weeks, the
students also played “baseball” and “Sevens.” Special thanks to workshop
volunteer Pang Ting and to Bob Naess who supplied the wooden boards the
students used
Make
your own chalkboard: Mix 1 part non-sanded grout to 8 parts
paint (1 Tablespoon to ½ cup latex or acrylic paint) and paint a piece of
plywood. It’s better to do two coats if possible. After it’s dry, lightly sand.
While any color paint can be used, to get a more traditional “chalkboard”
color, use black and white paints.
