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. Plus this way I can give you all a little preview in case you are still looking for some ideas of your own. I hope you find something you ... VIEW POST

November Fine Motor Morning Work Stations
November Morning Work Stations coming at you. Here are some quick and dirty pictures so you have an idea of what is included in this month's stations.

Since all of you were so interested in my Back To School Fine Motor Morning Work Stations, I thought I'd share what I've been up to for October.

My first set of stations lasted me through September and a bit of October, but ... VIEW POST

Morning Work Stations are THE BEST thing to happen to my mornings. Seriously. Students used to come in, dragging their feet and wasting time. Today, they are on time, ready to get ... VIEW POST
A New Spin On Morning Work and a Freebie to Get You Organized.
Morning Work! Yuck! Seriously . . . yuck! We feel like we need to have something for our kiddos to do while they file into our room haphazardly in the morning. Most of them are on time, but many are 5, 10 or 15 minutes or more late for class.

While I have no opposition to a daily activity sheet now and then ... VIEW POST
