Warm Blooded Animals Know Their Master-An Immigration Worldview for Teachers

Anita Kim Venegas

The title today, how does it fit with teaching?  Great question!  One of my online students gave me this definition of warm-blooded animals.  His father taught him this.

 This student has knowledge that I didn’t have, and that I’d never considered.  He brought something new to our classroom.  All of our students will bring knowledge to the classroom.  I think it’s important to acknowledge what they know.  Many of our students today are entering classrooms without book knowledge, without school procedures, and sometimes without knowledge of modern conveniences, like toilets and sinks that work on sensors.  Our country, our world, is dynamic, ever-changing.  Our students will continue to come from places beyond our borders, our own worldview.
