Welcoming Families From Around the World

My Family's country of origin: Finland

5 ways I will be culturally responsive

1. I would learn basic communication in their language (Hi, what would you like, bye, etc.).
2. I would try and prepare foods they are familiar with: Rice, potato's salmon
3. I would try to keep it sunny and green for them, making sure they feel comfortable, since they are used to being outside a lot and being around grassy areas.
4. I would share things on our education system and allow them free range
5. I would allow them to recycle and use whatever they would like

I hope these preparations will benefit the family by allowing them to see that we here in America care about their needs and their home life. I would like this to benefit me by hoping they would be comfortable being in an unfamiliar place and not be afraid to open up.
