Sergio Vieira de Mello Municipal School
Rua Adalberto Ferreira, 19 – Leblon, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, Brazil, 22441-040
SUMMARY The place chosen was the Municipal School Sergio Vieira de Mello where there are classes of 1st grade of the Brazilian elementary school until the 5th grade and we chose teacher Telma Vargas, Class 1502, as a mediator. She teaches the subjects of Portuguese language, science, history, geography, and mathematics. From the set of words that makes up Telma’s vocabulary universe we recognized as the theme for our project: “Cool understanding flows delightfully”. Our mediator performs revisions at the end of her classes, and this activity is related to our target- sentence. This happens when students understand better the subject taught smoothly. And after the stage of trials we could adopt as a premise the understanding of the subject through playfulness, through games, which convey the subject, in a cooler and funnier manner for students. After the steps of experimentation, we made up a colorful board game, consisting of 120 pieces of Paraná paper coated with colored contact paper, which allows changing when writing questions and answers. Six roulettes also coated with colored contact paper favor the raffle during the game. During the process circular pieces of wood identify each player.

The experience of carrying out project II was very useful to me because in it I could learn to live with and listen
to people and ideas which I proposed, as I lived with Telma and her students and for me it was simply a unique
experience. Telma’s dedication to her students was amazing, she is always willing to seek what is good in each of
them, and for me this was remarkable to be part of it. As I could also take a lot from living with the experience of my
professors Ana Branco and Vicente Barros, because they have always tried to teach me everything they knew and
always demanded from me what they knew I could do. I am very grateful to them for this, as with the demands I could
learn to always seek the best even if it seems impossible, because only by seeking and doing that is really impossible I
will know whether this is possible or not, and thus I could see that nothing is impossible if you really want to do a good
job with their experiences I could also learn and see what other ideas which without their vision or perhaps I would
never think of putting into practice. And what I can really say is that I joined the project II willing to learn, willing to
improve myself as a person, and I really grew and broadened my horizons and opened mind by seeing things through
different eyes today that for me in the past they did not make sense, because I could absorb everything good about
my classmates, my professors, my partner and my pair. And I ended up becoming someone who does not lose more
time just by thinking and questioning, but also acting, and thus I have learned to not get simply seeing which idea is
that would please my pair and serve to her class, but going to purse this idea in every possible way whether by asking,
testing, making mistakes or doing, because I really only know what is useful for my pair and her class by doing all that
is possible to do, whether few or many things. And that is what I am thankful for Project II. I am grateful to my pair
Larissa, for I learned with her to do things and not be wasting time, because my pair was always a very active person,
and by getting along with her I learned not to waste time, to not leave things for tomorrow what you can do today,
and thanks to her I am a much better person and more active in my assignments. I really thank you, Larissa. And I
am also grateful to my mediator because I learned with her that patience and trust are essential in order to do a good
job in partnership and by getting along with her I learned to be more patient and trust in my work, because by doing
a job in which both sides trust and support themselves no matter how long that lasts all will be well, that’s why I am
very grateful to Telma, because I learned with her to trust myself and the people who are with me, because by trusting
people you always build up a good job.

Throughout the semester, and with the development of the project, I have learned the importance of always being
aware of what happens around me and receptive to new views and options. Every thanksgiving done, I have realized
the importance of facts that, in previous situations, I would not have paid attention. By thanking, I realized that
every detail added something new, a new perspective of what was building up. In the beginning, I was locked in my
ideas and visions, over time I started realizing that other people, with different ways of looking, can add greatly to my
project. For this reason that I thank Professor Ana Branco for showing me that I was a bit unreceptive to the opinion of
others, I learned how much I failed to gain from it and how my project could be better if I changed it.
I also thank my pair, Israel Silva, for the rapport we built and for being with me in every moment of difficulty. When I
thought we could not make it, he was always the first to tell me to reassure me and move on because everything would
go well. With this I learned that while I am able to do a job alone, a pair or a group gives me the strength to move on
and overcome every obstacle that appears.
To my mediator, Telma Vargas, thank her for responsiveness, availability and, above all, for being so loving and strict
with her students and with us. With this I learned that besides being very important to demonstrate the love I feel
for someone, it is no less important to demonstrate that that person also has defects and that we need to change some
of them, such as when students began to make a mess, and she showed the mistakes of each and told them how they
should do, but then she said that they had not only showed their qualities and defects too. I believe I became a better,
more responsive and more confident person because I also realized that the mistakes are different ways to make right.
In every mistake, I learned a lesson and in some of them, I realized the importance of having a planning (which also is
the name of the subject: Project II - Planning). All this created in me the will to move on and rely more on the ability of
other people.

The project involving Israel and Larissa seemed to me exciting, dynamic, creative and above all at the service of
students. Our class of 5th Grade (1502) was receptive with trainees, each phase in which the materials were tested.
The games that were being offered contributed to the exchange of ideas among students, the productions of questions
among them, the search for consensus, in dynamic activity of engagement and playfulness. The descriptors were
reviewed in an atmosphere of desire and joy, as the prototype seemed attractive to me by the colors and materials
used, as well as the handling of students, not only the 5th Grade, but also lower grades. The involvement of trainees,
being aware of the activities, use of materials, seems to have helped them reach the goal of the final paper. I think the
semester in which undergraduates were involved in the class was also productive for the students of the 5th grade of
the Municipal School Sergio Vieira de Mello.
