I have a color scheme . .blue and green and I pull in some other brights. Thanks for this opportunity!
Thanks so much for the giveaway. My theme- black and white.
Love the products!
I'm going with a zebra n cheetah print theme!
I had a color theme in mind before participating in "blog-hopping" – red and black! However, I think I'm changing my mind. I will stick with black, but I want to go with neon colors – hot pink, lime green, orange, blue, and yellow…maybe red. I really like your ideas and am looking forward to the rest of the "blog-hop".
I'm doing black and white with a pop of color.
Polka dot…polka dot…polka dot! Navy, green, lime green, and a little turquoise.

My classroom is bright blue, black, and white. There are hints of yellow too. I'd like to think that blue is calming for middle schoolers!
My theme will be animal habitats. This looks like great fun. Thanks for setting it up.

This August, I will be starting my first year! 🙂 I think my theme will be bright colors & Chevron!
WOW what an awesome set of giveaways. I'm so glad I can be a part of it all!
My theme will be owls mixed in with some chevron in pink, green, & blue! =)
I am injured and moving classrooms so I am hoping to just get my room set up :-). I have lots of owls and bright colors in my decor.
My theme is not very original or exciting, but it is what I am known for….a smiley theme. My students have been known to comment that I am "obsessed with smileys". 🙂 With older kids, I never wanted to go with anything too cutesy, though I LOVE cutesy, so I just use lots of primary colors and my smiles. It works. It helps remind me to keep a smile on my face, too, and it is kind of nice to be known for a certain theme. Lots of times, current and former students will come to me so excited over a smiley item they found in some store or a rummage sale and bought just for me! Guess, it serves as a special connection between us. 🙂
My theme is robots, gears, and lightbulbs
My theme is Black, hot pink, and hot blue. I will be adding chalkboard accents this year!
My classroom is full of frogs! They are definitely staying but I am adding chevrons and dots! I am a graduate of McNeese State University from Jennings, Louisiana. I have been teaching in NC for 25 years. If you get a chance, check out my blog: mboydjustsaying.blogspot.com. Thanks.
We're going on a safari this year, and we're wild about reading!
My theme is an ocean/beach
My classroom theme is just going to be very colorful. I'm trying to stick with mainly shades of aqua, light/lime green, and pink, but there are couple other pops of other colors in there as well. 🙂
This is such a neat idea! My theme will be the same as last year- a color theme mainly using teal and yellow (with a little pink, purple and green splashed around occasionally in small details)
My theme was updated last year, it's kind of an amalgam of Tiffany blue accents with polka dot primary colours. Kind of like my blog page. I do love BLING too so I have some gold and silver stars hung from the ceiling!

I can't believe all of the early risers. Actually, I was on your page last night about midnight before this wonderful give-away. I keep changing my mind about my theme as I keep finding different ones that I like, but I think colors will change to pink, lime, turquoise, and Maybe owls? Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas as well as those of your colleagues.
Polka dots- either bright primary colors or aqua,lime and yellow. What an awesome give away and scavenger hunt! Too fun! Teaching with Giggles

I'm aiming for our homeschool classroom to be ORGANIZED this year. I'm working on a cute "theme" but really, cleaned and organized would be great…
It will continue to be apples!
Thanks,
Nancy

Oh, Classroom theme… I am thinking monkeys and polka dots!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!! Love how it is split into grade levels. My theme this year is monkeys.

Deb

My classroom theme this year is "Improving Ourselves and the World One Spot at a Time!". Using lime green, hot pink, and polka dots, we will do just that! 🙂
My first theme is going to be a beach theme to go with my "You Can Toucan" goal setting poster. Then I'm planning on switching to a sports theme since I'm a big football fan and want to do some graphing with football scores.
Our school theme this year is the Amazing Race, my grade level is doing the South America/rainforest, so I think I have decided on bright tree frogs 🙂

Such a great giveaway! I'm doing the Peanuts Gang theme (Snoopy, Charlie Brown, etc.) My colors are red and black, like Snoopy's doghouse. 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway! Loved finding the other new blogs, FB pages, etc. My theme is really just a color scheme: Black with bright primary colors for accents.
I don't know. I might stick with my last year's theme of frogs and monkeys and tie in some blue/green polka dots. The polka dots are my new love.
Kinders on the Block
Oh and thanks for planning this awesome scavenger hunt. I had a BLAST! And on my journey I am a little bit closer to my color scheme at least (lime green, sky blue and purple). Lots of blogs I visited are so colorful and inspiring. 🙂
My theme is Navy blue and Green Bunting! 🙂 It is easy, gender neutral and good for 'big kids' in grade 3!
I really don't have a theme that goes throughout the whole year – I change things according to season/holiday.

I have never had a theme before but I am in the process of developing a color theme. I'm thinking blues and yellows and lots of shopping at the dollar store and IKEA!!!! Can't wait! Thanks for the amazing giveaways and chances to win!
I will be student teaching this year, however, my cooperating teacher informed me that the classroom theme is superheroes so I've been doing a lot of research!
Also, my best friend who will be teaching 3rd grade this Fall has been planning her classroom all summer and she chose camping! She has the cutest ideas!
Thank you for the giveaways!!

Thanks for offering this great giveaway! This year our school theme is "Where Race For Academic Excellance Has No Finish Line! So everyone has to do some kind of racing theme!
Well I've always loved the idea of doing Rock Stars but I took a position as a Special Ed Parapro so I won't get to have my own theme this year 🙁
We're going "under the sea" this year with sea animals and scuba kids! I'm sort of excited about getting started decorating. 🙂

I teach middle school so we don't "DO" themes. I do have a combination of New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers stuff as well as coffee stuff everywhere.
Polka dots and owls.
I am doing a monkeys/jungle theme…but I am really liking the idea of no theme and just using color choices with chevron materials. Thank you for the opportunity to win (more) awesome items!!! 🙂
My theme is black & white with bright pops of color. My black & whites are polka dot, chevron, and zebra! I guess that's a lot of action! Thank you for organizing this amazing giveaway and allowing me to be part of it! My fingers are crossed to win YOUR store!!!

We're doing space for our Science unit, so I'm thinking of something along the lines of superstars for my classroom.
Amazing giveaway. I only found your shop a couple of days ago, but I'm LOVING what's on offer. Definitely one of my favourites.
Classroom Theme? Well, being on maternity leave for the last couple months of school, I think the theme will be, What is hidden under the mess left by last year's class? Where is our classroom?
I am going with a black and pop of green, pink & blue theme……thanks for this opportunity!
Such a great giveaway! Thanks for sharing. My theme is owls again this year. I had gone with it last year, but I had sooooo much owl stuff left over I decided to do it again. 🙂

As a homeschooling family, we don't have a classroom theme, as such, as really the whole community is our classroom….. but I do use classroom decor elements in so many ways….. organising, special occasions, labeling, etc. Thanks so much for organising this massive giveaway. It must have taken days of hard work. Well done you!! thursdaytook@hotmail.com
I don't really use a theme in my speech classroom.
My overall theme is to promote positive self image. This is for the whole school, not just one class.

I don't have a theme….but I do have a color scheme: Teal, lime green, purple and pink.

Fun in Room 4B
This is so exciting! Thank you!
I have never, ever had a theme. I am trying to decide whether to jump on the bandwagon and have one… or just make my room clean, cute, organized, and cheerful. I am still undecided! I am thinking about how cute gray and white chevron plus yellow would be, though.
I have a colorful theme! My bulletin boards are covered with yellow paper with border that is black with colorful dots. Then I have black crates and shelves filled with book boxes, each bow is a different color. It is a bright and cheery first grade room!
Since I teach 4th grade in Texas, my theme last year was Texas….cowboy hats, saddles, boots….you get the idea. I think I will add to that with more cute decorations….hopefully I can find some neat stuff at the Bullock Museum gift shop when I go to Austin at the end of the month!
Great giveaway! My classroom theme is jungle animals!
So excited about this summer giveaway! Thanks!
my theme is Hollywood this year!
My theme for this next year will be the Peanuts characters.
Mine is rainbow pops!
I've been doing cupcakes for the past three years with lime green and pink color scheme. I'm doing most of the same but I do have some chalkboard and bright chevron mixed in. It's just a colorful theme – lots of colors and cheer!

Owl's and bright colors! I cannot wait! 🙂
I enjoyed participating in the give away and received the zip files for A and B in my e-mail. I'm afraid to open them without a preview.
Thanks very much for organising this! I really appreciate the time you have put into sending out the packs as well. Lots of awesome freebies as well and found new blogs and TPT sellers to follow. Thanks again.
PS We are starting with a Dr Suess theme
What a lovely idea! You are so generous with your time and creativity.
I do not typically do any theme in my classroom. 🙂
I don't do a theme in my classroom, but I have been debating about color scheme this year. I really like chalkboards and black and white, but lots of bright colors is a lot of fun. I may have to combine and do a little of both…
Thank you for organizing such an amazing giveaway! I am so excited to start it!
I don't really have a classroom theme but more so a color scheme which is turquoise and brown.
I don't have a class next year (as of yet). I subbed all of last year so we'll see if I get hired on for this year. I am debating on doing a Dr.Seuss theme with fun colors, or either going simple with a black and teal and maybe some polka dots theme. It's so hard waiting especially when I see all these great ideas and the teachers already organizing and arranging their room. Oh well. Gives me time to find amazing giveaways.
Thanks for organizing this great giveaway. I entered all four of the giveaways because I don't have the slightest clue what could be teaching.
What a FABULOUS giveaway idea!
My classroom will be travel-theme this year!

I don't usually have a classroom theme. There are definitely some cute possibilities though!
My theme is going to be owls again this year! I loved it so much that I don't want to change it yet. Not to mention that my plate is so full this summer with new common core stuff!!
This giveaway turnout has been amazing!! I exceeded my "bandwidth" on photobucket yesterday (probably a combo of your giveaway and mine going on right now!). My blog was taken over with little pictures that said, "Look Who's Popular". OMG! Needless to say, I took the easy way out and paid $29.99 for the year to get unlimited bandwidth. Yikes!!
Thanks again for your hard work. Your email account must be insane!

I wish I could decide on my theme. I cannot not make a decision and am running out of time. Maybe a trip to the teacher store with my teaching partner will help me decide.

My classroom theme will be bright cobalt blue with sunny yellow (and some turquoise to accent). Found many things on the hunt to help with this, so thanks for creating the scavenger hunt!
My theme is up in the air. I want to do a black and white room with penguins. Then let the anchor charts students work be all my decorations.

Stopped back to see if the ribbons in the scavenger hunt were from you so I could keep everything organized and I saw my name twice! I about fainted! (Does that mean I win everything posted to your store in the future, too? Tee hee!)
