Case: Iranian student
I was a paraprofessional for a second grade class a few years ago. Since it was basically a military town, many of the students had military parents. One of the students in our class was Iranian. He spoke perfect English, but he and his parents had thick accents. His mom wore traditional Iranian clothing, but the student didn't. He wore what all the other kids wore: blue jeans and t-shirts.
When the school year started, I noticed that the other kids stayed away from the Iranian student. The teacher tried to get the students to interact with each other, but it was no use. Looking back, I wonder if it was the student's personality or his culture that the other kids tried to stay away from. How could a teacher get students to give the Iranian student a chance? How could we get second graders to make friends with everyone?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Some team building activities should definitely be set in the curriculum. The teacher could also implement lessons that are geared towards different cultures, and how its ok to be different sometimes. She could even let the gets get involved by having them bring in things from their different cultures and allow them to research their heritage. |
