This is one of those projects you're gonna have to have your parents make for you. It's perfect for hanging homework schedules, art, notes, etc. You can also use it to hang photos (ignore how crazy I look in that one :o) While your parents are working on the board, you can make the magnets.
For the board, you'll need:
An old picture frame (my mommy didn't have an old one, so she bought one from the dollar store for $3)
Paint
Fabric
A sheet of metal.
Heavy tape
Start by painting the frame (if you like). You can use regular paint or do like my mommy did and take it outside and spray paint it.
Once the paint is dry, wrap your fabric around your metal. We got to take a trip to Home Depot (which I love but my mommy doesn't) They sell sheets of metal precut. Ours was about 12x18 and the frame was 14x18 so it was a pretty great fit. Just center the metal and use the cardboard that comes in the frame to help with the extra 2 inches.
Secure the fabric to the back of the metal with a good heavy tape. Then fit it into the frame and put the back of the picture frame back on. All done.
