RECICLAGEM DE PAPEL
Completamos um mês da campanha de reciclagem de papel que está envolvendo toda a equipe de funcionários e os alunos da ABA Global School!
"A reciclagem do papel é de extrema importância para o meio ambiente. Como sabemos, o papel é produzido através da celulose de determinados tipos de árvores. Quando reciclamos o papel ou compramos papel reciclado estamos contribuindo com o meio ambiente, pois árvores deixaram de ser cortadas. Não podemos esquecer também, que a reciclagem de papel gera renda para milhares de pessoas no Brasil que atuam, principalmente, em cooperativas de catadores e recicladores de papel."
Estamos responsáveis por uma das etapas mais importantes deste processo : a coleta seletiva.
Em cada sala foram disponibilizados lixeiros especiais onde as crianças deverão colocar todos os papéis descartados após atividades de recortes, pesquisas, desenhos...
As crianças estão sendo orientadas pelos professores e lembradas pelos próprios colegas para que nenhum outro material seja depositado nestes lixeiros.
A família pode ajudar conversando sobre a importância desta ação. Algumas crianças trouxeram papéis de casa para darem o destino correto aqui na escola.
Todo o papel coletado na ABA Global School foi levado para o depósito de uma empresa que levará o material até uma fábrica que finalmente irá fazer o processo de reciclagem.
Conseguimos coletar 12 quilos de papel!
Esperamos criar nas crianças um hábito de REPENSAR o uso deste material e de RECICLAR o que for possível.
No próximo mês, voltaremos com novas notícias!

Monthly Music
As a team member of Year 4 I can proudly say that:
WE LOVE MUSIC, we are captivated by flutes, violins, drums, guitars, banjo´s
and even by our high pitched voices! Music is a big deal in our classroom… our
lovely neighbors ( Ms. Taty, Ms. Jana, Ms. Lu and Mr. Mason) share our passion
! They are constantly singing, dancing and whistling tunes. Therefore, we
motivate every single student to sing along with Year 4! It is such an
empowering feeling.
Interesting facts about Music:
1. The chills you
get when you listen to music, is mostly caused by the brain
releasing dopamine while anticipating the peak moment of a song.
Dopamine is a feel-good chemical released by
the brain. This chemical is directly involved in motivation.
These studies found a biological explanation for why
music always has been such a huge part of emotional
events around the world since the beginning of human history.
2.
There are few activities in
life that utilizes the entire brain, and music is one of them.
With Functional
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI), a research team recorded a group of
individuals who were listening to music. They found that listening to
music recruits the auditory areas, and employs large-scale neural
networks in the brain. In fact, they believe music can activate
emotional, motor, and creative areas of the brain.
3. An “earworm”
is a song that you can’t seem to get out of your head.
An earworm is a
cognitive itch in your brain. This “brain itch” is a need for
the brain to fill in the gaps in a song’s rhythm. The auditory cortex is
a part of your brain that will automatically fill in a rhythm of a
song. In other words, your brain kept “singing” long after the song
had ended.
So…here it goes, our monthly songs!
Blackbird
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Into the light of the dark black night.

Shimbalaie, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep Nature, goddess of living
Pure beauty of birth
A flower shining in the light
Fisherman between the sea and the hook
Free thoughts like the sky
Imagine a paper boat
Going away to never return
Going like Iemanja
Chorus (2X)
Shimbalaie, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep
How long will it be to learn
That a flower has life at birth
That a flower shining in the light
Fishing between the sea and the hook
Chorus (2X)
Shimbalaie, when i see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep
Being a captain of this world
Able to roll without borders
Live a year in seconds
Appreciate dreams as more than silliness
Become enchanted with books
That speak about vanity
When you like may it be needed
Being able to tell the truth
Chorus (4X)
Shimbalaie, when i see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep
Keep singing!
Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol ... LA-LOVE
