Favorite Amazon find for a chalkboard & burlap classroom
Burlap pocket charts
I’m definitely not saving the best for last, these babies are going first! I gasped when I saw these burlap pocket charts and I’m thrilled they’re available on Amazon. #becauseprime. They come in three sizes.
Farmhouse & black themed border trim
The mint green border trim gives a pastel pop to an already neutral, burlap classroom theme. Layer these borders on your back to school bulletin boards for a fun farmhouse look, or combine the black and burlap for a rustic, urban theme.
Letter boards
These adorable things come in both black and burlap and are ideal for motivational classroom quotes, or even just your name. They really can be used for all sorts of things at home and in your classroom.
Tissue paper fans Decorative fans are ideal as corners for your bulletin boards (or to hang from the ceiling if your fire inspector allows it.)
Paper lanterns Swoon over these festive lanterns and hang them in corners, above your filing cabinet, or you can even turn them into pumpkins! Use some crumpled brown or black paper and coil white chenille pipe cleaner sticks to make leaves and tendrils on top!

Black tabletop pocket chart These tabletop pocket charts are ideal at your teacher table or to use on small tables during centers.
Numbered black pocket chart This numbered pocket chart is ideal for water bottles, cell phone, and calculators in the older grades, but I especially like it for watter bottles in primary.
