Some students will be able to complete their chores right away, while other will need to wait for the specified time, but charge them with doing their best job as they'll receive bonus points, a treat, etc. for their work.

On light brown bulletin board paper construction paper, draw a fan shape, modifying the lower corner to create a circle instead of a point. Mrs. Naylor cut a diamond out of the center of the fan to create a \"grassy\" infield when placed on top of the green background, but this is optional. If you should choose to cut the center out, also create a second, smaller circle to be placed in the middle of the cutout as the pitcher's mound.  From white card stock or white construction paper, make home plate, the three bases, long thin strips to act as the baseline, and a small thin rectangle as an accent for the pitcher's mound. When the pieces are properly placed, glue them together and place the entire baseball field in the middle of your bulletin board. 2) The Baseball Gloves. You will need as many gloves as you have duties for your students to complete. Either purchase prefabricated glove cutouts, draw and trace your own, or use computer clip art to print and cut glove shapes onto brown construction paper. Label each glove with a different classroom job and arrange them around the baseball field on the bulletin board. 3) The Baseballs. Purchase prefabricated baseball cutouts or create your own using white card stock and a red marker (laces).

Freehand, trace, or print labels for each cauldron {these will depend on what type of board you're creating}, outlining them with the same silver paint pen to help them blend in with the 'brew'. From the same lime green paper, cut different size 'bubbles' as well as several smoke curls to place around the top of each pot.

Attach the newly created circular photos to the rocket windows {effectively \"assigning\" the student a classroom duty} using Velcro dots.

Six fit perfectly on Jennifer's board, but make as many as you need! 2) The Attendance Boards. Find three brightly patterned metal serving trays at your local home store {or cover regular inexpensive cookie sheets\/baking trays with patterned scrapbook paper}, adding a label to each - \"Our Class\", \"Absent\", and \"Present\" - and attach these to the bulletin board. Create magnets from student pictures and place them on the \"Our Class\" tray.
