Chalk is made out of Calcium Sulphate and it dissolves in weak acids which means it is a weak chemical to acids. So the vinegar wich is a typr of an acid dissolves the chalk with cool foams foaming in the jug or a cup.
because of the acid in the vinegar
EDIT(Dr.J.): Actually, chalk is mostly calcium carbonate, not calcium sulphate. The carbonate reacts with acetic acid (vinegar) to create CO2 and H2O as follows:
CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH ==> Ca(CH3COO)2 + 2H2CO3 ==> 2CO2 + 2H2O

add. But your blackboard chalk may not dissolve at all, for it is possibly made of CaSO4, not CaCO3.
