Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In my school, I have some students who are practicing Muslims. Some are first-generation Americans, others second or third but they all bring with them knowledge of their beautiful culture into our classroom. Thanks to them, I and their classmates have learned the spiritual and cultural significance Ramadan holds for them.

During the month of Ramadan, my students partake in a daily fasting ritual that prohibits them from eating and drinking during the day until evening, dedicating their focus to prayer and self-reflection.

They participate in this ritual for the spiritual rewards and self-fulfillment they feel after achieving their goal.

In the past I have been amazed at the dedication and discipline previous students displayed when following this ritual and at the same time maintaining their responsibilities as students. I know the coming month will be a challenge for my students since many will be coming to school hungry and tired. As their teacher, I want to support them in this arduous but fulfilling ritual by recognizing and celebrating their cultural identities.

The lights, stickers, and door banners I ask for will be used to introduce to my students a lesson where we will be discussing about Ramadan to promote cultural awareness and inclusivity in my classroom as we celebrate, support and recognize our Muslim classmates. Also, many of these same students love to read mangas and comics, so as an added piece of celebration I would like to be able to surprise them with new comics and mangas to add to our class library. These books will help in making my students be engaged in their reading and improve their literacy.
