My families country of origin: Egypt
5 Ways I will be culturally responsive:
1) Research Egypt cultures online and apply that to my teaching and communicating.
2) Egyptians primarily speak Arabian, I would learn some words of phrases from this language the best
that I can and incorporate that to the family.
3) Find books from Egypt and about Egyptians and incorporate those in my lessons.
4) Find music from Egypt, we can learn to sing a song in Egyptian or just listen to how they sing songs.
5) For snack we could possibly have an Egyptian meal. Maybe we could do a different culture each day
of one week and have a meal of that culture on that day.
I hope these things will make the family and the child feel welcome in my classroom.
Shanda,
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of having an Egyptian meal! I have often thought of food as an international language. I also think that singing or listening to Egyptian songs would be a great way to welcome this family. Thanks for sharing some great ideas!
