Allow students to express themselves and their backgrounds. By encouraging this, you make your classroom a welcoming place for everyone to be themselves based on their backgrounds. ]]> 2021-09-08 22:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726174604 haugej https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726174642 getting to know your students at a greater level of both educationally and not!]]> 2021-09-08 22:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726174642 Incorporate things such as books and games that are part of children's stories. bauerraf https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726174679 2021-09-08 22:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726174679 pottemac https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726174746 Have literature from their culture available in the classrooms

We also are teaching our non-binary student that this is something new to us, so we will make mistakes but will do our best to correct ourselves. davisgaf https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726175016 2021-09-08 22:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726175016 Don't assume things and get to know the real stories of your students by talking with them and listening https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726175110 2021-09-08 22:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726175110 olsonmam https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726175170 One way you can honor individuals' stories is to tie culture into your social studies, reading or writing curriculum and then allow students to share about their lives and their culture.

Ask them about their lives, what they do for fun. Today I talked to a student who almost every weekend likes to skydive. He says he feels like he's in mission impossible.

You want to be inclusive so that every story doesn't go unnoticed. Kids can define who they are as a person if everyone in the class is open. I also think it is important that you are using a variety of cultures so that they can see multiple sides. Get to know your students so that you can incorporate their interests in your lessons. ]]> 2021-09-08 22:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726176041 https://padlet.com/sheryllarson/5ppgpks2b8d7al8k/wish/1726176264 Including multicultural books and incorporating mini lessons/activities/holidays that promote cultural diversity

Or you can simply put different languages up if you label things in the classroom. I know there is one school in my area that teaches ASL as a special class.
