After spending the summer traveling to conferences across the country and presenting of Morning Work Activities, I collected all the questions and suggestions and wish lists I gleaned from other teachers and put together a 'Getting Started With Back To School Morning Work Stations' packet that has everything you could possibly need to get your own Morning Work activities up and running in your own classroom. And as October pokes its head into view, I have another set of Scary Good Morning ... VIEW POST

May Fine Motor Morning Work Stations
While many of you may only have a few weeks of school left, my kinder friends will be with me until the second week of June so I am still toying with the idea of whether I will be adding another set of Fine Motor Morning Work Stations to my arsenal or whether I will maybe just let them pick their favorites and have them revisit them for the last 2 weeks of school. Until then though, it's May and time to change over stations for a new month of fine motor work. I'm working into the wee hours of ... VIEW POST
April Fine Motor Morning Work Stations
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.

They were such a hit, but I think that March will be a winner, too. Depending on how long ... VIEW POST
February Fine Motor Morning Work Stations
I know that as soon as I hit publish for this post I'm going to start getting emails asking when I'll have my plans done for March, but honestly friends, I'm working on it. It has just been a crazy month with kindergarten assessments, snow days, mass amount of kids absent from class and report cards. I'm hoping things will calm down a bit and that I'll have March done a bit ahead of time. As it is, I still have two or three days left of January morning stations left ... VIEW POST
January Fine Motor Morning Work
Have you been waiting on pins and needles to see what I have in my morning work stations this month? Well, it's all about winter, snowmen, snow flakes and penguins. Winter has definitely arrived in Michigan, so I might as well embrace it. Right? At least that's what I keep telling myself. By the way, I have added a couple of extra stations this month (14 in total) to get me through the entire month counting all our specials, late starts and the like. So here's a ... VIEW POST
