Space: A learning center

A learning center is any focal point or area within a classroom or school which contains activities and/or materials used to educate, re-inforce, and enrich a skill or learning concept. The learning center can free the teacher, enabling her to interact with individual children. A learning center offers the educator a carte blanche of creativity, because as a teacher, you can create a learning center based upon almost any conceivable topic or subject.
