The the one that comes to mind is a recurring project I did with my 2nd-3rd graders where we learned to write our names in hieroglyphics as the only exposure we had to African (as in the whole continent, for its entire history) art. The kids really liked it, and it took me a long time to find ways to reframe our discussion about Egyptian art, and not make that the only exposure my kids had to the subjecy. ]]> 2021-07-13 23:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/zly461/g38rk2fo2s8tgyl7/wish/1648212572 vgrogers2377 https://padlet.com/zly461/g38rk2fo2s8tgyl7/wish/1648212628 My college has a cultural fair, where different student body groups / clubs can participate]]> 2021-07-13 23:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/zly461/g38rk2fo2s8tgyl7/wish/1648212628 Gabriela opf511 https://padlet.com/zly461/g38rk2fo2s8tgyl7/wish/1648212800 At my campus, we have a "Culture Fair" every year. (Although, I'm not sure if it would count as multiculturalism) Every grade level/department had to facilitate an activity, where families can walk around and participate throughout the evening. My 6th grade team always did the same activity: money conversions. The families would be able to pick a currency and convert the amount chosen to US dollars and back. ]]> 2021-07-13 23:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/zly461/g38rk2fo2s8tgyl7/wish/1648212800 Saul https://padlet.com/zly461/g38rk2fo2s8tgyl7/wish/1648212856 Because there is room for improvement in our practice, I can take a look at the concepts that have been historically challenging and personalize them to fit the students that I teach by incorporating their voices and their cultures. ]]> 2021-07-13 23:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/zly461/g38rk2fo2s8tgyl7/wish/1648212856 wvo127 https://padlet.com/zly461/g38rk2fo2s8tgyl7/wish/1648213318 At the first school I taught at, we had a very high migrant population (22 different languages were spoken at the school).

I think there have been moments when I've done ability-based seating so that kids can "work nicely together" without being intentional about it.
