If you are a teacher that likes bright colors and neon, consider choosing a chalkboard classroom theme. The black of the chalkboard looks great paired with bright colors and creates a put together look. One reason teachers love this theme is because it can be used year after year since it is not too thematic! This theme is perfect for upper elementary classrooms as well as lower elementary.

Chalkboard Themed Classroom Pictures
The chalkboard classroom theme bundle includes BOTH the original version (shown below) and the newly updated version (shown above). In the newer version, we used all new clipart which includes much more diverse characters. Also, we made the entire bundle 100% editable so not only can you customize it with your students’ names and details specific to your classroom, you can now translate EVERYTHING into other languages too. This has long been a request from teachers of ELLs and immersion classrooms. Both versions are available in the Elementary Classroom Decor Collection.
