Maria Carneiro Escola Municipal Marília de Dirceu Rua Jangadeiros, 39 Ipanema - Rio de Janeiro CEP: 22041100 Tel.: 2247-4351 / 2523-0903 The project performed at the school named Escola Municipal Marília de Dirceu had as
partner the teacher Bruna Maria Carneiro, from class 1201 (first grade). This
class is formed by students who are learning how to read, write and
mathematics first concepts. The
teacher usually brings exercise sheets (i.e letters of alphabet, drawings to
be coloured, illustrate or complete stories) and sometimes she lets them free
to play with games like puzzle or pieces to plug. She always incentives the
students to help each other. From
words captured from Bruna’s vocabulary, we could recognize our project
theme:: “1, 2, 3...Everybody, beside each other, colouring our school!”. We
listed some activities that were related with the phrase: painting, drawing,
decorating the classroom seating side by side. Then we initiated the
experiment period. The
concept that we adopted was an object on which Bruna could chat with the
children through a draw or a story. The final
product was a panel formed by 3 polystyrene boards sewed to 3 magnet sheets
(2 boards of 26,5 cm X 37 cm and 1 of 26,5cm X 36cm). The boards were pierced
and joined by the smallest length with black elastic string and sewed with an
orange satin ribbon on the external edges of the panel. To hang it up we used
a pair of hooks nailed on the top of the blackboard; a pair of strings
sustains the panel as they are tied to 4 rings attached to the object. The
dolls and objects that will compound scenes in the panel were printed in an
adhesive sheet, glued to the magnet one and then they were cut. Bruna now
can use the panel to let the children’s creativity flows, to bring the
classmates close and able to chat using scenes to talk about different
subjects making classes more enjoyable. The
project at Marília de Dirceu school was for me, more than everything else, a
learning process. Project always brings me a different subject to think
about. And this one has brought me the prejudice issue. Prejudice as the
pre-judgement in respect to the place and people due to stereotypes not
personal experience. That changed a lot: my vision about people and
situations in general, not only at the school, but in Ana’s classes, at home,
on my singing classes, in my life. Project
also has always taught me more about people and about my work with others.
And project was never that universal for me. Today a project is not mine,
neither the team’s, neither the partner’s. That because not only these people
had worked. All of those who listened, gave advices and helped the team got
involved to the process and, therefore, to the project. From this experience
I get another vision, from myself and my relationship with others. And that
was, to me, an opening, a huge – and unexpected - conquest in so little time. (Ticiana) Project
to me is not only create, experiment or even plan anything. But is also a way
to understand how life really works out, as we are watching each step, each
place, and each activity that a person lives. Because of that, while I
project I think I’m living in a different world, learning new things, knowing
people and new places. Doing this project at Marília de Dirceu school, made
me think differently; it was indeed a lesson for my life. I observed people
who live in another way and, that certainly suffer a lot of difficulties
daily; and they’re just kids. What have I learned from this? I learned how to
deal with people, How important it is to project with teachers who really
know what they do and are nearby to help, breaking a certain prejudice that I
had about that. Also being everyday with another person who makes you open
your mind and run after; and for that I thank Ticiana. But the most important
fact I’ve learned is really how to plan, something that I’ll use not only in
projects, but also in my life. (Samuel)
