Welcoming Families From Around the World


The country that I chose was China.

I would prepare myself by reading books about their country. Reading would probably inform me of small things they do in their culture.

I would try to find a person that lives in the United States that’s from their country to discover the amazing facts about them such as things they do for fun, how to count and etc.

I would research how their schools are funded and what special programs they have to offer families.

I would learn what gestures are considered to be offensive, and learn how they greet and say good-bye.

I hope these preparations will help me to be comfortable and confident around the family. I also hope that I would know how to not offend them. This will show that I’m prepared to work with children in diverse backgrounds.
