Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My class is an amazing group of 23 young scholars in a multi-age public Montessori school. These 1st-3rd graders are SO happy to finally be "all in, every day" after a year of partial weeks and full remote days. We are members of the Yonkers Public School District, the fourth largest district in New York, located in the beautiful lower Hudson Valley, just north of New York City. Our district's student population is made up of 17% Students with Disabilities, 13% Limited English Proficiency Students, 59% Hispanic Students, 18% Black Students, 16% White Students, 6% Asian/Pacific Islander Students, and 1% Multi-Racial Students. Many live below the poverty line and qualify for free/reduced meals.

The pandemic has truly changed the way we do so many things in our community-based Montessori classroom .

One of the biggest changes is a shift from sharing storage spaces and our supplies, to keeping items close by purposely limiting extra classroom movement. Storing these items within reach aka on their Montessori tables, takes up precious workspace.

We are looking to find a place for everything, and keep everything in place! Individual student seat sacks would help do this and free up needed workspace for my students.

My Project

Pandemic learning has left our Montessori classroom with very limited workspace. Gone are the days of several students sharing tables or freely moving to work on the floor. Gone are the days of sharing most of our supplies and storage areas.

The children sit at traditional Montessori tables which lack any sort of storage other than the top, leaving very little room for students to complete work when supplies are placed there.

Using the seat sacks to eliminate sharing of communal storage areas will provide an area for students to store their items near them, while keeping workspace free and clear!
