“How Are Kindergarten Learning During A Pandemic?”

Kindergarten’s learn in many ways during this pandemic. They are learning virtually and some schools are letting half capacity back in schools. All kindergarten’s are going to have a hard time learning online and listening to the teacher over the computer because children get distracted and it’s a lot of parents that can’t stay home with their children daily and watch their every move to see if they are completing their school work. Many parents and their children don’t have a bonding relationship so that makes it a harder time for the child to learn. Also, some children do not have the internet so that makes it much harder when schooling is online.

“ Online Learning Can Be More Difficult For Many Students”

Virtual Learning during this pandemic has concerned many parents with their little ones being taught online. The major problem is that children are not gaining any knowledge being taught over a computer screen especially a kindergarten. It’s difficult for children now since they can’t interact with one another and make friends because of social distancing. Kindergartners are not the only students that are having problems being taught virtually. I'm sure many other children in different grades are having a hard time understanding the material also being taught.
