Our Writing or Mark-Making Centre

At Godspell we believe that our Learning Spaces truly are our Third Teacher and that materials are there for our students to use and enjoy. Every material is selected for a reason and is presented in a way that invites its use. Most 5-year olds are really into writing and enjoy using this space. We have envelopes to send letters to friends or family, puzzles with lower-case letters, stamps for those children that are still not able to write their letters, different games, their journals and more!

We wanted to share with you our K4 and K5 writing centres. We usually have writing or mark-making provocations in the table right next to these shelves but have these materials available throughout the year in case the kids need more supplies.
