How would I welcome a child into class, help to celebrate their unique differences and help other children welcome and get to know this child? I would encourage them to make a poster or anything that represents who they are and where they come from. I would encourage them to be proud of who they are and make them feel comfortable. I believe encouraging parents to be involved in activities like this would actually help the child feel more welcomed and comfortable. explain that being different is actually a good thing that we should all embrace.
