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. I made it large so we could see it from different areas of the room. Print the pages. Cut apart if you like. I cut them and pasted them lengthwise on a blue posterboard folded in half which gave it strength. It looks great! Laminate for more durability. 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! The jobs part of this PowerPoint file is editable so you can change it to meet your needs no matter what class you teach. Then, just print and tape together. I've also included PDF's of both files for your convenience. Includes: 3 noneditable covers 1 page of ninja stars you can copy and paste on posters 1 page of group color bars to print and paste on clothespins 5 editable job pages, copy and paste to make even more *Note: I used the Narkisim Font which is a free download if you do not have it.
