I have always loved "centers" even up to second grade (I call them stations during reading block and math block). I do however suggest that the writing area be on a shelf next to a table same for art. Students walking from that one area to another with the restroom and box of blocks right there could become hectic with so many littles in the room or messy.
You are SO LUCKY to live walking distance!!! 💖💖💖
