SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC News)—The return to school for the Syracuse City School District has been going well this fall. Many schools have benefited from this return, including Montessori at LeMoyne Elementary School. LeMoyne is different from most schools because it is heavily hands-on learning.
Nicole Eure is a parent of a Pre-K student and is feeling good about how her daughter’s return is going.
“She really enjoys school and I think it gives her a lot more structure being in the classroom versus just a half-an-hour being on the computer every day,” Eure said.
However, getting back in the classroom is not hassle free. Principal Jason Armstrong said that faculty has had to face some problems themselves. One of these problems is having to sanitize all the objects used for the hands-on learning activities.
“It does take away the time that they’re spending, that they used to spend with instruction and things like that. We do modify the curriculum just slightly for this year,” said Principal Armstrong.
Schools like LeMoyne Elementary will continue to adapt throughout the year to ever-changing conditions.
