Welcoming Families From Around the World

                                              Welcoming Families From Around the World

 

 At least five ways in which you will prepare yourself to be culturally responsive towards this family         

    The name of the family’s country is Philippines. I chose this one due to my pastor and their family being over there. They would say things that need to be done to help them out. I would want to be able to know about my own family culture, so I could understand about their culture as well. Want to learn how to speak in their language and to know how to do sign language. I would be willing to step out of my little comfort zone and to see how I would treat people that are from a different country. I would engage their culture within my classroom setting. Make sure the labels are in a language that the children can read. I would love to work with children and families on speaking another language.                       

 A brief statement describing in what ways you hope that these preparations will benefit both you and the family

 

I hope that someday I could speak the language they do, and not make them feel so out of place. I would want to know as much about their culture, traditions, so I could better understand why they do certain things. By knowing what the Philippines do on a daily basis would help me to know their concept of certain things and why they do it a certain way.
