ABSTRACT = {The primary contribution of this paper is the finding that lack of 
activities and interesting learning areas prepared by the teacher in the
 classroom may negatively impact children’s social behavior. Classroom 
design and the teacher’s careful selection of materials to be displayed 
in each of the learning areas do engage young children in learning 
activities during learning sessions and their free time. When children 
group themselves according to their interests in different learning 
areas, they develop various skills and positive attitude towards each 
other in their groups and all members of the class. Children engagement 
in different learning areas in their classroom develop and improve 
language skills, reading skills, listening skills especially during 
dramatization, numerical skills, acquire general knowledge in various 
subjects including sciences and their  mother tongues. In a 
participative classroom, children learn how to share and take care of 
the materials in their learning areas. While in their learning centers, 
children develop manipulative skills, leadership and managerial skills, 
learn how to tell simple stories, and learn how to work together as a 
team. A friendly classroom develops an environment that creates a 
desired children’s social behavior. },
