In the classroom, it is so important to incorporate multicultural education in the classroom. At this young age, these children are learning the fundamental skills that they will have for the rest of their lives, and with that, incorporating it is so important. At that young age, both reading and encouraging kids to read storybooks with diverse cultural heroes. It allows the children to know that anyone and everyone can be heroes in this world.

Another way to help children understand it is to redirect if things are not correct. A lot of children's beliefs are from their families at home, and understanding there are many views is okay, but also correcting students if they say something out of line to someone. They don't know any better but you can teach them

Technological methods are so important in the classroom. The first thing you need to learn in the classroom is computers. Going to the library to look something up used to take time, and now we have those answers in seconds because of technology. The World Wide Web has opened so many opportunities for this world and has allowed for endless possibilities. Having that in the classroom is so important and so use it as much as you can but do not rely on it. Technology is important but it will never fill in the place for teachers.

Keep them updated on their kid. Open and honest communication is so important.. Lean on these parents as well because the fundamental skills these kids learn are mainly from their parents. Parents are not perfect either and so teach them how to help their children grow outside of the classroom.

Fostering a Multicultural Classroom Environment

Fostering a Multicultural Classroom Environment is so important because it allows all students to feel welcome. Your classroom is meant to be a place where every student in the room feels like they have a voice and are important in this world. Allowing each student to get to know other students is important. The connections they make allow them to connect and flourish as a family in the classroom. Your classroom dynamic is key and so adding norms at the begging of the year is the only way to have expectations and foster an environment where multiculturalism is welcome and encouraged.

In the classroom, having "PBL" (Project-based Learning can be very effective as it will integrate all types of learning and allow you to expand on the important things in the classroom. This can especially be helpful for students with learning disabilities because it allows you to see learning in a different way. Sometimes that different way is all you need to succeed. Project-based Learning allows students to engage in real-world applications. It allows for possibilities to be endless and can let kids flourish in and outside of the classroom.

There are so many traditions in the world, and your classroom can be a safe place to harvest each of those traditions so everyone can learn and build off each other. Celebrating all religions is an important on so all feel included, especially during times of celebration for those religions. This can play a vital role in allowing these children's minds to be open-minded and empathetic to everyone. It can help bring awareness to all the kids that there is so much Diversity in this world, and learning about it will help them along the way. This simple way of just acknowledging which religion can change a kid's perspective. It can show a "cross-cultural perspective," and that is so important inside the classroom to help them learn something new (Redding, 2022).

I learned in my Childhood and adolescence phycolay class that students can thrive around a built structure and theme in the classroom. Having theme-based approaches in your classroom can be so important. It can allow kids to flourish in the classroom. If there is a theme like " Integrity and Diversity," it would allow kids to understand each other and have a strong foundation.

It's like the saying, "it takes a village" to raise a kid. This could not be more true inside the classroom. The idea of a village comes from the idea of a surrounding community. Keeping the family in the loop of what is happening at school is so important.

These kids are with you more parts of their day than they are at their home, and that is important to note. Having weekly newsletters is a way to keep them in the loop. It allows them to have the option to come to you if needed with any questions. Keep them updated on their kid because they can help behind the scenes.

Let there be some community-based projects or projects for the kids to learn about their family (family trees). It then creates a place where, at home, these kids can talk to their parents and their parents can see what their kids are learning.

Something that could help many students struggling to read in the classroom is reading telephones. The =y can sit in the corner of the room and kids may whisper and read to themselves and hear what they are saying. If it is off or wrong, they can fix it, and it can help their reading flourish. It would help kids become more confident in reading akoud and to themselves.

Using things like white whiteboard in the classroom can be helpful to those who are visual learners. Some kids understand it right away, but having the option to use whiteboards can be helpful and important. These kids need to find out how they best learn now so that later in life, they know what will help. Some kids thrive with interactive white boards and having that opportunity to use it is important. You, as the teacher, want to give the kids the best necessary tools to flourish in the classroom.

In the classroom, the only way to get kids to want to learn is to make it appealing for them to learn. At the age that each of these kids are, they don't want to learn if it is not fun and so creating that balance is so important. In the classroom, lean on things like Kahoots, or Quizlets or interactive wordsearches. That way the kids are both learning important things while also wanting to learn because they are having fun.

I am on the GCu Swim and Dive team, and our team is 80 percent international. A way that we incorporate that and show how important it is to us is by saying good morning in another language every day. We do it so everyone feels welcome and the international students say it brings them a sense of home. When you do that, it allows you to grow in places you didn't know before because you learn a new language, and you connect to others. I will do this in my future classroom so that everyone feels at home in my classroom.

In my future classroom, I want to show I am an intentional teacher. The details in your classroom are important, and one detail i want to have is flags of the world hung up in my classroom. It allows kids to be at home but in the classroom. The tiny things you do for each kid's life may be a huge thing for them. Pay attention to the tiny details so you can be the intentional teacher you want to be.
