Communication between student and student is an important tool that students should learn at a young age. While teaching an Elementary class it is important to let students communicate with one another. This will enhance their communication skills for the future and hopefully reduce the chaos in the classroom. There are a few ways this can be done. For example….
-On the first day of school, let students interact with one another to get to know each other. It is very important for every students to feel comfortable with their classmates that they will be spending the year with.
-Let students work in groups- this allows students to interact with one another, learn how to work together and get to know each other.
-Let students ask other students questions- meaning if a student has a question about something they are learning have them ask their classmates.
-Let students have a little relaxation time- Set aside 5-10 minutes of quiet, social time for students to interact with one another. This will hopefully reduce the number of interruptions between students during the day.
Children between the ages of 5 and 10 are just learning the basic skills of positive communication and should communicate with one another daily. These types of communication skills will stick with them forever. It is important to teach them early how to interact and communicate with people their own age. These will be valuable skills that they will use with everyone they meet in the future.
