I make an effort to get to know the families . I send home a letter at the beginning of the year asking them to tell me about there family celebrations. I input these celebrations into our classroom. For example I have 3 students this year who celebrate Chinese New Year. We will have a big celebration that day in our class so we can all celebrate together.

Star of the week program.

Every two weeks we feature a different star in our classroom. Students are asked to bring in photos. They present these photos to the class. We as a class interview the student who is the star to learn more about them and their family.
