Lupita

After reading about Lupita and getting a sense of her involvement and general interests in the class I feel as though there are a couple of things that the teacher can do to help improve the environment and learning experience for her. Lupita showed in her interaction with her classmates, helping to complete the puzzle evidence of positive pro-social behavior. The occurrence of Lupita not really interacting with the teacher and the other students in the class may be due to the fact that she has a language barrier/ not as comfortable using English. Due to this barrier there is a difficulty with social interaction. To make Lupita feel more comfortable in the class try to integrate her home language into a lesson in the class. She could teach her fellow classmates a couple of words, such as how to say hello etc. The teacher can also help Lupita by explicitly connecting/ labeling things in English, providing her with the vocabulary she is searching for in order to be a social member of the classroom.
