Welcoming a New Family from a foreign land!

I have struggled all week to come up with a country that I know very little about because I have either met someone from other nations or have done/read/seen a report on many of the others. I have asked around to my close friends to help me out and they came up with the Czech Republic.

Czech Republic:
The following places are where I would start and see where they lead me.  Many of them would be immigrants who have a direct knowledge of the country and maybe the family and know what they will need to become successful here in Washington State.

1. I would contact the local translator bank to learn a few words and to get an insight into what the family maybe experiencing. 
2. Contact  the local or closest consulate. 
3. Find a local church that does services on their native language and again talk to the people that go there to find out what the family might be facing as the transition to Washington State.
4. Find the local community here in Washington State and see if any of the people there would be willing to talk with me about their culture and how I should respect the family.
5. My local Child Care Resource and Referral might have information about where to get books, translation for newsletters and culturally relevant play materials.

As I learn more about their lifestyle and beliefs I plan on incorporating them into my lesson plans.  Also I plan on teaching the students about their new friend that will be joining us in a few weeks/months what ever their timeline for their move to their new home maybe.
