As teachers of multilingual students it is imperative to note that students come to us from many different backgrounds and we must remember that a student's lack of English fluency does not determine their level of intelligence. Many simply need more time to be immersed in learning the new language and soon the dots will begin to connect for them. Likewise, including artifacts in the classroom that are inclusive of multi cultural backgrounds can make a world of positive difference in a child's educational journey.
