This article examines how to foster cultural identity in third-grade students at Reynaldo Gómez Aldana Primary School in Tizayuca, Hidalgo, in order to generate a deeper sense of belonging to their community. Through an analysis of the historical and social backgrounds of the students, it is identified that, due to the proximity to the State of Mexico and the work interactions of their families, many students show greater identification with the neighboring state. This phenomenon has posed challenges in the educational context as students do not feel fully connected to their local culture. Therefore, various pedagogical strategies are proposed, such as storytelling of local legends, projects on family history, integration of regional festivities in school activities, and the use of the New Mexican School to incorporate educational content that reflects the cultural diversity of the region. These actions aim to strengthen students' sense of belonging, promote social integration, enhance self-esteem, and, in the long term, contribute to better academic performance and greater community involvement.
