As a Kindergarten teacher, we are seeing a decline in collaboration and socialization skills in our youngest learners due to distance learning and social distancing. In Kindergarten teamwork, socializing, cooperation, collaborating and sharing are very important skills. Currently in our classroom we have big desks, that do not allow for collaboration. We have desks that are too tall for our little learners. My kids are having to stand or sit up on their legs to reach needed supplies and sometimes our desks tend to tip over with a student and they get hurt. Students learn better when they are comfortable and able to use their supplies easily. When sitting at a table students are able to collaborate with each other while participating in hands on learning. They are able to share supplies, socialize cooperate with each other. Those skills are some of the most important skills for early childhood. Kindergarten students need a space where they can collaborate, share supplies and be able to work cooperatively with each other. Tables will also allow for us to be able to be at the right height to learn cutting skills and learn important handwriting skills. We have been struggling every day with our big kids desks. We need a space to work and collaborate on projects together. As well as having a space for me to sit down next to a student and help with learning to hold a pencil and use scissors. I believe that tables will help my students be able to learn all those important life skills they need in early childhood. I am anxious to bring socialization and collaboration back to Kindergarten!
