I am a teacher in a very multicultural school. In my class approximately 40% of my kids are Muslim, I’m not. Last Ramadan/ Eid I noticed a real discrepancy between the decorations we created as part of our celebration of Eid, and those I put up for Christmas. Just in terms of quality and quantity and also length of time they were up. This is not something that I want to repeat this year. I know there isn’t really an equivalent of a Christmas tree, but I was wondering if there are appropriate decorations for Ramadan, which I know shouldn’t be a frivolous time. And what should go up for Eid, and how long they should be up for (bearing in mind that all of the children will be off for at least the day of Eid, if not a day or two afterwards. And also remembering that we have Christmas stuff up for around 20 days)
Really I would just like to create an equal atmosphere.
When I had an older class we visited the local mosque and did litter picks and ‘charitable‘ things to celebrate Ramadan but I don’t think that is as appropriate with this current class.
Thanks!
