Me as a teacher: multicultural classroom
On Wednesday I tutor kids from the (Dutch system)7th grade, 11 years old. The school is located 5 minutes from my house. This neighbourhood is very multicultural so to say. Today's classes could not make that more clear.
The children needed to write a paper on European countries they were interested in. When helping them, they started sharing why they chose their specific countries.
A boy told me his aunt lives in France and the bread and cheese are really good there. His mom and day were born in Turkey, near to Ankara and they met only later in the Netherlands.
A girl commented while writing her paper about different fuels, that her aunt lived in a house located right on top of a big oven in Syria. In winter it was always warm there.
Another boy told me he lived in Kosovo when he was little. He was writing about Albania and explained the languages and culture are quite similar.
There were only 9 children in the class: different origins, different religions: different upbringings. Diversity at its best I guess.
