Well, supposing this is going to be a children's game it is quite nice. 
But you should correct the UVs!
The wood texture's mapping is a bit off.
Kids normally don't have high standards in graphics - but with kids always starting earlier with the pc may cause that they notice these things as little bugs.
Another thing is: Don't just use plain color for a face! It's a) wasted texture space and b) somehow outdated.
Give structures to the blackboard and the red / blue parts.
Always wonder how it looks in everyday usage.
It is very hard to perfectly clean a blackboard, remains of chalk everywhere (remember, kids often touch everything [because they also learn through this "touching"]) would fit the model
Basically, without seeing a mesh it seems to be a solid model.
But try to improve it with the points mentioned above!

opps,
this is less an Project.
It is more a test for me, how fast i can model and texture something.
I need for this 2-3 hours incl. textures.
This is not fast enough, i need to polish my skills
The ready Model is here:

well, to be honest, 2-3 hours is quite much for this board - as well as 15 $ are far too much for this.
Just one question: Why do you post it here if you do not listen to users?
This thing needs to be really good to be worth 15$.
For example, look at this model: Chalkboard for 10 dollars
a) it is 5 dollars less than yours
b) it got the right mapping
c) it got nice textures
d) it got more details (just look at the screws and chalk)
Well, if you had listened to the above post, yours could look as this.
But just loading it up to turbosquid won't improve the model, neither your modeling skills.

hey Landi...
2 upto 3 Hours is much time for an so simple Model...
I miss some "Dirt" it looks like "fresh buyed"
the UV Mapping is not very good created, the surfaces looks always different (very unrealistic for an wooden surface)
How much Polys does this model contains?
Maybe you coul decrease the polycount by merging those Torus Models into some simpler objects (only 6 edges or whatever)
I miss some chalk drawings of the kids ^^
Maybe create the Pointer's as abjects it looks so flat at the moment.
Which Program do you use to model?
And 15$ for this is really too much ! Set it for free or create a bunch of those models for 15$...
