Need Ninja Cleaners in your classroom? I sure did! I made this Ninja Job Chart to cover the cleaning jobs I wanted students to do in the Media Center.

Each group of students has a colored clothespin that moves each week or month (your choice!) so they are never stuck doing the same jobs. I set the timer for 1-2 minutes and set them loose. With 4-5 students doing each task, the room is spic and span in no time at all!
