The origin-country that I chose is Columbia; the first thing I would do is research this country's native language and learn a few words of it. The second thing I would do to prepare myself is to find images from Columbia, maybe even the flag, and add them to my classroom. The third thing I would do is research what types of food are native to Columbia and try to add those foods to my dramatic play center. The fourth thing I would do is research their culture and explore all things that would give me insight into this family. The final thing I would do is to prepare a lesson on Columbia to share with the class. I hope that these preparations would benefit the family and help them feel welcome and included. I hope that I would benefit from this by learning more about another culture and how to be culturally responsive toward it.
I love your lesson plan idea. Such a sweet way to welcome a student to their new room, while creating a learning experience for the other students.
