My goal before leaving for Spring Break this week was to stage all my fine motor morning work so that when I came back, I would be ready to go. It meant some late nights, but I did it and thought I would share my plans with all of you as quickly as I can so you can get a head start on your set up as well.

March Fine Motor Morning Work Stations
Here in Mrs. McGuire's class, we have St. Patrick's Day, leprechauns and all things green on our minds. That's why this month's morning work will have a bit of an Irish flavor to them. Luckily, my kinders indulge me and love all the mystery and intrigue that comes along with chasing leprechauns and pondering over their pots o' gold. It's sad to break down the February stations. They were such a hit, but I think that March will be a winner, too. Depending on how long ... VIEW POST

December Morning Fine Motor Work Stations
So I know that December first is quickly approaching and under 'normal' circumstances, I would have switched out my November Stations this past weekend, but I still have three days of November stations left. I don't want to cut my kinders short . . . So I staged my December Stations this weekend so come Wednesday afternoon, I can quickly switch them out.
