I have inherited very large and awkward tables for my 4-6 year old students. The tables are so high, some students are working with their hands up by their chins or standing up. They are large trapezoid shapes and very heavy. I have tried arranging them multiple ways to allow a flow in the room to no avail. I put 2 together to form a group, yet students smash their fingers in the middle and they are so close together they bump each other in their chairs. I still have to have enough room for carpet area and dramatic play, and these tables are LARGE. Your generous donation would allow us to have appropriately sized tables that students could sit and work at in comfort. They would have enough space with these smaller tables to walk between them without bumping each other or tripping, or smashing their fingers. Also, with these large tables, the students are sitting in groups of 6. Smaller work groups are more conducive to learning. My goal is to make their learning space as inviting and comfortable as possible. Many of my students live in very cramped quarters with multiple families in a small apartment, even a garage. They often do not have their own bedroom, but share with parent, many other siblings or they share the living room as their bedroom. If these children don't have comfort in their homes, you would be helping children for years to come be able to work and learn in comfort at school. Thank you!
