We went down a rabbit hole thinking about ways of going to community events. This organization has a nice list of local festivals and events that we might be able to go to better understand the variety of experiences of our students: http://www.rilatinoarts.org/RILatinoFestivals.html

They would probably feel that her teacher cares because he is joining in activities beyond the classroom.  They might feel honored because the teacher is a part of their community. They might feel shame if they don’t speak the language and cannot communicate.  Belonging, safety and not like an outsider.

I strive to include my parents in as much of our classroom community as possible but they are often hesitant to engage and are disconnected. I don't think my families have had many positive school experiences. I bring my daughter and attend as many after school events as possible. I always send personal invitations to my families encouraging attendance. I want them to know that they are always welcome to join our community.

This example worked well for the theme of immigration but what would this strategy look like with other content specific topics in general.
