Welcoming Families From Around the World

The country of origin I chose was: Uganda

Five ways for preparation towards this family:

  • Research their country and their cultural beliefs
  • Familiarize myself with their cultural understandings 
  • Learn basic phrases to prevent a language barrier
  • Understand their family functions with their culture 
  • Educate myself on their cultural mannerisms 
I'm hoping with the five ways of preparation listed above, both myself and the family will find common ground to help one another understand ways to communicate effectively.

    Hello,

    I do agree once learning about the cultural belief will definitely help. When going to any country it is always a plus to learn about the culture so you can open minded and have a understanding of there culture.

My Connections to Play

  • "Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning." By Fred Rogers
  • “The activities that are the easiest, cheapest, and most fun to do – such as singing, playing games, reading, storytelling, and just talking and listening – are also the best for child development.” ~ Jerome Singer (professor, Yale University)
  • “As astronauts and space travelers children puzzle over the future; as dinosaurs and princesses they unearth the past. As weather reporters and restaurant workers they make sense of reality; as monsters and gremlins they make sense of the unreal.” ~ Gretchen Owocki (childhood educator)
