Welcoming Families From Around the World

Mozambique

It has come to my attention that I will have a student coming to my class from a country in the southern part of Africa. I would share information about Mozambique with my students and practice saying words like Good Monring!- Bom dia (bom-dee-ah) so that we could welcome the student when they arrive. The ways that I would make this student feel welcomed into their new class environment would be having a flag from Mozambique in the class when the student arrived. I would go to cultural specialty store and try to find pĆ£ozinho  which are Portugese style-french buns to have as a snack during a meet-and-greet with the children. By doing these things I would hope that this would help to make my new student and their family feel welcome.

  1. Great idea with the pictures and giving your students information about the student coming. I also like how you incorporate the flat from that country along with a meet and greet. Great post, Thesa.

  2. I really like the idea of a meet and greet.I could use this at my center we recently have gotten some families from other countries, it would be a good idea to have them meet with the students and their parents to make some connections.
