Check understanding

  • Describe a cultural practice different from their own and explain what they find interesting about it
  • Ask respectful questions to learn about someone else's traditions or beliefs
  • Explain why understanding different cultures makes communities stronger
“Does your child show genuine interest when learning about how families from different cultures celebrate, eat, or worship — asking questions respectfully rather than dismissing things that are unfamiliar?”
