Scenario Response 4

I would start by meeting the parents and asking questions about their culture background as well as the culture in the house. By doing this, it gives me a better understanding of what each student is experiencing and practicing at home as well as learning culture traditions. 

I would bring this to the classroom with daily morning bell work that allows each student to start their day by being comfortable in how they start their day. Giving them a chance to relate their culture to the work and sharing their cultures with peers. 

I would also include visuals of important classroom objects such as pencil sharpener, restroom, pencils, paper, books as well as showing the word in their language and showing how it is translated to the English words for each object. Giving visuals to everyday objects that they use can start to help build their vocabulary making them more comfortable to participate in the classroom. 

I have used a culture project each year in my classroom by allowing each student to research and learn from their parents or guardians on their heritage. Allowing each student to teach their peers traditions and culture of their backgrounds. In my experience using this project it allows students to learn from each other and build a friendly environment by understanding their peers' traditions better.
