Chapter 2
The chapter on culture was very interesting. We will have kids from all different cultures and backgrounds in our classrooms. The best way to try and understand the cultures of the children is to get to know your students. When my daughters started school, I helped them both do their all about me posters. the activity was wonderful. It paints a picture for the teacher of how many likeness and differences she has in her classroom. The teacher can better prepare to meet the needs of all of her students. One of the best ways I have seen a teacher meets the needs of her students is by having books available in the classroom which represent different cultures. The students can look at their cultures and also share with their classmates. Teacher's can also have culture day, where an individual from each of the students families comes and talks to the class about their family culture. They can bring in items or books with illustrate different cultures. The students could learn a lot about themselves and their classmates.
