A new station with new alternative seating was introduced today in our LLC. Silent reading was the most popular station today!

A few of our learning stations this week - LEGO, writing/drawing, trains, and loose parts.

There are a few other stations that our students can visit in the LLC, hopefully I will be able to get a few more pictures this week.
