Teaching with Learning Centers
A Learning Center is a place where every child is actively involved in learning, where s/he learns in a natural and enjoyable way through his/her own experience.  It is a place where a child works with concepts and ideas concretely, by handling familiar objects and manipulating them before dealing abstractly with the concepts on paper.
