Do I feel lucky to have March Morning Work Center Activities? You bet. It has changed my mornings completely. My kindergarten friends rush into class and can't wait to start the day. Tardies? Nope! Dawdling in the hall? Nope! It makes for a much more pleasant morning, and my students are getting that extra, hands-on practice they so desperately need.

So here's what I came up with while I followed along with Tammy's guiding questions:1. Establish a gathering place for brain and body breaks. (Do you call your gathering place anything special?
