This video shows a bilingual Elementary school in New York and how the first grade teacher promotes a classroom where children feel free to share their families experiences. They talk about the current political issues through literature. They advice that teachers can ask questions rather than taking a side, they can send home information about immigration resources to all families, and they can collaborate with local organizations for legal and socio-emotional services. They show how valuable home visits are and how knowing the students backgrounds benefits both teachers and students.
