Our project was conducted in partnership with Valeria Peres, teacher of Municipal School Prudente de Morais. Our intercessory teaches kindergarten students 6 years, every day. The teacher maintains the dynamic classes divide into two parts: before and after recess, in the first part the class practice activities about initiation of writing and reading (drawing exercises, images with a space to write their name, how to organize a phrase, construction of oral histories, etc.) and in the second part of the class rests and plays freely until the time of departure.
From the set of words that make up the vocabulary universe Valeria recognize as the theme for the project: "Talking about Images: learn the play’s respect of reading, combining the space of the child with the world. Look, read, learn and play ... BINGO! The secret of life”. Valeria always looks for listening the children, giving voice and space to them through play like those: Conversations on the day; Phone-Wireless; Time History; Bonds Helper-the-Day. The teacher said that the common point between all these activities is "combine the space of the child with the world": the space of the child is the play, which, although fun, possesses aspects of simulations and real everyday issues stimulating "reading world".
Based on Objective-Phrase and the experiments, we started building something that gives voice/respect to the students, being versatile and able to give continuity to our intercessor dynamics’ uses. We build a panel that opens in four sides and comes with a different set of puppets that represents the daily lives of the children; this object consists of four modules of three parts, each part are composed by 3mm MDF and carpet. The object was used as a pulpit, board and panel, both enable the construction of stories, giving space for the child recreate their world’s reading and Valéria’s own space.
I, João Pedro, learned to learn with each gratitude. I discover the whole time people were teaching me things that I never would know. I learned to see beauty in things, everything has potential. I learned to take more risks without fearing the outcome. I learned to err. I learned how to learn from the mistake and bet on "nonsense" to believe. This is the process that the product takes form, and it belongs to everyone. I learned that the experiment insert an idea in the real world, it always indicates the next step. I learned to dilute the ego, to make a design of peace, collective.
I thank Natasha answer "has potential" every time I asked her opinion. It made me learn to see power in all things, everything can be important and useful, it just depends on us. I thank Valerie for having allowed her to become involved and to be part of this whole process with us. With this I learned not to be afraid to get involved, and deliver me.
I, Natasha, learned in this process, how to do things with other people, this project is the union of all people into one thing; nothing is mine, everything is ours. And also with Valeria, I could learn to read the next, giving the voice to the next. I could try anything without fear, the answers added one more thing in the project. Each object/thing has something to offer, I learned to see the best thing that they can offer to me. I want to share it and live it more than this. I thank Valéria for teaching me respect. I learned to listen to the other, the need that I have to be with everybody, and, I learned how every gesture/word can be important. I thank John for the fact of living with me during this semester giving himself, completely, at each step. I could learn from him how to be more dedicated and capricious in the things that I do.
