Aproveitamos o Valentine´s Day para mostrar
aos alunos do Year 4 a importância da amizade. Com a ajuda das instrutoras do Maker,
Rachel Levy e Ana Flávia Ferraz, eles construíram uma “garrafa –barco” onde
colocaram uma mensagem de carinho que escreveram para aquele amigo especial. Bem-vindos
a bordo Year 4!
On Valentine´s
Day our students were embarked on an adventure for each of them through a
communal journey. Welcome aboard Year 4!
This is your first project. It will be about your own Life Journey! You should create a booklet/ Poster/ PPT/ Pamphlet etc in which you stick pictures or strips of pictures that represent you, your hobbies, your family members , interests, and achievements. You need to answer most of (if not all) the questions written below.
There are no font, font size, margins required. It is all up to you, except that the content has to be substantial/ not superficial/taken seriously/providing important and essential information. When anyone reads and observes your project, they are supposed to know almost everything about you.

Songs of
the Month:
Count On Me
If f you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you
can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like
Four, three, two
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do,
If you're tossing and you're turning
and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you
Oh
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like
Four, three, two
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do,
Oh yeah
You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go, never say good-bye
You know you can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like
Four, three, two
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do,
Oh yeah
You can count on me cause I can count on you.
Dentro
de um abraço:
O melhor lugar no mundo É dentro de um abraço Pro mais velho ou pro mais novo Pra alguém apaixonado, alguém medroso
O melhor lugar no mundo É dentro de um abraço Pro solitário ou pro carente, é Dentro de uma abraço é sempre quente
Tudo que a gente sofre Num abraço se dissolve Tudo que se espera ou sonha Num abraço a gente encontra
No silencio que se faz O amor diz compromisso Baby, baby dentro de um abraço Tudo mais já está dito
O melhor lugar no mundo, é aqui É dentro de um abraço
Por aqui não mais se ouve o tic tac dos relógios E se faltar a luz fica tudo ainda melhor O rosto contra o peito, dois corpos em um amasso Dois corações batendo juntos em descompasso
Tudo que a gente sofre Num abraço se dissolve Tudo que se espera ou sonha Num abraço a gente encontra
Na chegada ou na partida Manhã de sol ou noite fria Na tristeza ou na alegria
Tudo que a gente sofre (Na chegada ou na partida) Num abraço se dissolve (Manhã de sol ou noite fria) Tudo que se espera ou sonha (Na tristeza ou na alegria) Num abraço se encontra

Ms. Tatiana Sarmento is one of the most amazing teachers we have. Today, I watched as she asked question after question, never giving the answers directly, only drawing knowledge from the students' own words. She uses a wonderful variety of activities: tactile, kinesthetic, and visual, to help students connect to the new ideas and to see old ideas in new ways. We are lucky to have her and I am lucky to learn from her and teach beside her!
