Que a felicidade vire rotina!

Felicidade

É viver na sua companhia

Felicidade

É estar contigo todo dia

Felicidade

É sentir o cheiro dessa flor

Felicidade

É saber que eu tenho seu amor

Felicidade

É saber de verdade

Que a gente sente saudade

Quando não consegue se ver

Felicidade

É acordar ao seu lado

Tomar um café reforçado

Depois sair para correr com você

Felicidade

É poder jogar um pano

Colar no show do Caetano

Cantar odara até o dia raiar

Felicidade

É no fim de semana

Curtir uma praia bacana

E um pôr do sol de arrasar

Acordos em sala  

" Si tu vens as quatro da tarde, desde as três eu começarei a ser feliz"

Mensagens 

"Que a felicidade vire rotina"

Modelando nossos acordos!



Abraços!!!

Using a dictionary!

One of the most important goals every student should have is to become an autonomous, self-sufficient learner, who can continue learning and improving for their whole life. As a result, our aim as  teachers is to help our students to learn independently, taking advantage of the many wonderful resources available. A fantastic example of these resources is the humble dictionary. So how can a dictionary help you to develop good learning habits for your future?

Free yourself from bad translations!
Google’s technology has come a long way, but its translator (like all translators) is still not able to read your mind. One word can have many meanings, and can even be different parts of speech (e.g. noun, adjective, verb etc.) depending on the context. If I type in ‘bear’ from the expression ‘bear with me’, how will google know if I’m talking about the noun ‘bear’, meaning a big hairy animal, or the verb ‘bear’, which itself has five definitions in the oxford dictionary? Use your dictionary to help you with spelling, pronunciation, grammar, word families, prepositions, phrasal verbs, idioms, collocations and more!

Inventions!

Santos Dumont, Thomas Edison, Guilhermo Marconi, Alexandre Graham Bell...Apesar de viverem em épocas distintas, esses homens marcaram seus nomes na história mundial por sua criatividade e ousadia. Eles revolucionaram o modo de vida da humanidade com a idealização do avião, da lâmpada, do rádio e do telefone, facilitando a rotina das pessoas e fazendo com que o progresso surgisse. 

O Year  4 está trabalhando a unidade “How the World Works”, explorando como os seres humanos tem a capacidade de aprimorar a tecnologia. Durante o mês de Agosto os alunos da quarta serie se aventuraram em pesquisar e conhecer a trajetoria de diversos inventores e suas invenções. Para reencarnar na pele dos inventores e na época correspondente, criaram uma dramatização em forma de dialogo e entrevista escolhendo seus inventores favoritos. Com suporte do Media Lab estarão filmando suas reportagens em grupo. Este trabalho é p/que as crianças, de uma forma lúdica, entrem em contato com a história geral e vejam a importância dessas criações em suas vidas. Desejamo-lhes muita criatividade e que se divirtam!

Books !

Dear READERS,

The list that I am about to share with you has magic powers . It is a collection of shimmering jewels that have been with me for more than a decade. My childhood memories have been carved by these books. Enjoy! Let me know if you decide to get one of the books. Post a comment!

Ms. Carla as a fourth grader. Reading: Dot and Anton by Erich Kastner. I was inspired to have more life adventures after reading this book. 

This is a book that has a special place with me. It is one of the first books that I read and re-read in German. My teacher´s name was Mr. Horst Bill and he made fourth grade the most fun class ever. I won´t tell you a single thing about this book....let´s keep the mystery. Get it , you won´t regret or forget. You can get it in Amazon. 

Once upon a time there was a little witch who was only a hundred and twenty-seven years old. It's Walpurgis Night, when all the witches of the land meet to dance on the Brocken mountain, but the little Witch isn't invited........

Pippi Longstocking is a great book to read during your winter break. It´s funny  and creative.

Tommy and his sister Annika have a new neighbor, and her name is Pippi Longstocking. She has crazy red pigtails, no parents to tell her what to do, a horse that lives on her porch, and many adventures all over the world. 

This book has beautiful illustrations. Sempé a French illustrator is one of my favorites , his drawings are just breath taking. This classic book is about a mischievous schoolboy and his friends, originally published in French in 1959.

They're identical twins, Lisa living a colorful, big-city life with her father while Lottie lives in the country side with her mom. Why have their parents separated? They decide to switch hairstyles, manners, and addresses—and that is where the adventure begins.

I loved this collection of Encyclopedia Brown Mystery books. I  recommend you to start with this one. It will challenge you !

This is one of my TOP childhood books ever. It is a page turner and a little spooky. 

"Coraline discovered the door a little while after they moved into the new house. . . ."

When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem magical.

I  can still remember the day in the 4th grade I checked out this book from  our class library. This book made homework nights fun!!! 

The Monroe family has gone on vacation, leaving Harold  ( dog) and Chester (cat) at Chateau Bow-Wow -- not exactly a four-star hotel. On the animals' very first night there, strange things start to happen.....

Is Nick Allen a troublemaker? He really just likes to liven things up at school -- and he's always had plenty of great ideas. When Nick learns some interesting information about how words are created, suddenly he's got the inspiration for his best plan ever...

Everything our hero John Midas touches turns into chocolate! However, he soon finds out you can certainly have too much of anything, even chocolate. A cross between Bread and Jam for Frances and King Midas and the Golden Touch. For a strong reader or a bedtime “read to me.”

Perfect for: Kids who like classic stories.

Very funny book about a troublemaker little girl. You will have a blast reading about her school and family adventures. Be sure to get the first book of the collection.  ( Ramona and Beezus) 

I love all ROALD DAHL books, this one is probably my favorite due to the main character James. He is a risk taker and brave boy. If you like magic and fairy tales you will probably enjoy this book.

In my next post I will be sharing Books that you can find in our school library.
