Favorite Things: Writing Center

We do lots of things in our classroom. But something we can always do it write and draw. We have a writing center that is always open.


It has white paper, manila paper, some note pads, other various paper kinds or sizes. It has markers, crayons, and pencils. Sometimes it has gels pens or other specialty writing implements. All these supplies stay in our writing box--an old briefcase.




Our writing center includes an alphabet chart. Sometimes we have words that connect to what we are learning about. Sometimes we have books that are related. Sometimes we have Bible verses or sentences.



We also have cards with all our friends' names. Then we can spell the names if we want.


In the writing center, we can write or draw whatever we want.
Calendars
Homemade books
Checklists





Sometimes we have special items like books...


...or word searches...


...or lists we have made...


...or other special paper or designs.


But the most important thing is that we can always draw or write whatever we want.
