There are about 195 different countries exist in the
world. The world is being globalized. Every year, million people immigrate to USA
and make USA
diversity in all facets: culture, religion belief, nationally, economic class,
and race. What could we support family from around the world? If I had a child in my class whose family is from Chechnya, I would search their
values and view of the world. I would ask: what are they proud of, what do they root on, what would they like to dress on, and what would they like to eat. What would the family like to
celebrate during special days? I would put pictures that represent the Chechnya country on the wall of classroom; I would put dresses and kitchen stuff that
represent the Chechnya culture in the dramatically center so that all children
would learn the country. I would put books that introduce the country of
Chechnya in the library center. I would read the books to children at circle time. I would ask family to bring in their family photos and display the photos in the classroom. I would help
the family feel their culture is welcomed and embraced, and their root is proud and would not be disgraced in the classroom. I would like to all things that help
children lean how diverse our county is and how should we respect each other.

Thank you Sara
ReplyDeleteIt is so warm to read on this blog about the boys that came from Russia and we set them on the path of stable family life and education, opportunity and social class. This family and many other family that come to this country and do well, but take that and turn on the county that gave to something that they could not receive for their own country. Thank you for sharing your thought about this international terrorist group. Great information Kathfsmith
Your post was thoughtful and insightful. I ask the question though, should we assume that every terrorist attack whether from another country or a native American may have turned out differently if things were done differently during their early years? I surely do not think you were saying that, however, playing devils advocate, I can see how someone may align your post with my question. On a lighter note, I really like that you highlighted integration of culture and play. Because young children learn through play is it so important to highlight the games, toys, clothing, actions, that are unique to each of our cultures. What a great way to include diversity on a daily basis!
