How does socialization take place in the classroom if materials are set up for individual use and lessons are given individually?
A. When children are gathered together and provided with engaging activities, they are going to socialize. This is not only natural, but is necessary for children to learn how to get along with others, and how to share and cooperate. In the classroom, children often socialize while working on individual activities, or when working together on the same activity. Frequently, this cooperation may be in the form of a lesson given by one child to the other. We only ask that their socializing does not interrupt the work of others.
