Our project was conducted at the Municipal School of Júlio de Castilhos, as an intercessor with Professor Marcia Meirelles Freire. The school has students who attend from kindergarten to fifth grade, where the subjects of humanities and exact sciences are included in school grade. There, our partner provides Physical Education classes for all grades. In the first meetings, our intercessor practiced with many children choreographies, working hard the rhythm, coordination and attention to each student.

From the set of words that makes up the universe of Marcia vocabulary, we recognized as the theme for the project: "Let's focus for listening to music and play close together on the wheel to the rhythm of the instruments." Our partner, while rehearsing the choreography with the children, for example, was often making a great wheel for all students dance together. Thus, during this activity, she required concentration to listen to music and rhythm. From the trials of the first ideas, we decided that the silicone current was our adopted product. The adopted alternative was an object that encompasses different tasks of the variations presented: flexibility, lightness, mobility, practicality to the partner and diferente possibilities of colors and sizes for the wheel. Therefore, we define as the final product, rings of elastic tissue possessing the colors of the rainbow. The final object was done then, with the fabric called Energy, since this is flexible and practical for washing. To accelerate the step of cutting, we did two casts of 45 cm long and 18 cm in height, which, placed side by side, were used to cut strips of 90 cm x 18 cm. For the finishing of the object, we used the overlcok to close the wide, closing with an invisible stitch the hole to untap the inside out. Its packaging was made with a PVC screen, two zippers, two ready handles to bag and small strips of fabric. Inside the packaging, we tailor small strips (16 cm x 14 cm) with the remains of the fabrics, folded in half to give a finish. Teacher Marcia uses the object in several ways. With younger students, she often asks them to do the movements in pairs. For older ones, she asks to form a large circle, with all the rings, and also asks them to rotate, put the rings on top and feet, tilt the trunk behind balancing the body axis, among many other movements.

Débora: Throughout this semester I could live with people who taught me much about living, about respect, teamwork and life. It was a period of tremendous growth and learning! I am grateful for having had the opportunity to spend this time in the tent with Ana and Gabriela, who always listened us with much attention and affection, and gifts that really showed in our project. It made me learn the importance of really listening and paying attention to others. From there I could also track projects and agonies of the other pairs, and thus, the friendships remained. I thank all my collaborators who have brought their experience and attention to help us with ideas often decisive for the realization of the project. / Partner Gratitude: Thanks to Marcia for taking me and Paula with such respect and dedication. I am very happy to give her an object that really helps her. Her classes goes beyond Physical Education, she really knows her students and wants to help them grow! / Double Gratitude: Finally, I thank Paula for their company, their laughter, their ideas, their sensitivity. Living with someone who gets emotional truth with our accomplishments is amazing, and made me learn how to further enhance our work!

Paula: Participate in and complete this project was very important to me. The living with the intercessor and her students alerted me to the realities and difficulties that I couldn’t notice in my day to day. As the classes of intercessory always varied, I could contribute and provide smiles for several children and learn even more about them. This experience made me realize that poor children have enormous potential for creativity and enthusiasm of the situations, unlike children with a better financial situation. The moments in the tent, with Ana and Gabriela, were essential to my development. With them, I learned to plan every step of my project, making me capable to develop ideas more quickly. I have no words for the kindness and patience of all the other teachers who helped me in this learning process. / Double Gratitude: Thanks to Debora for all the times when she calmed me down, helped and laughed by my side. It made me learn that when we carry out a project that really there is an exchange between the pair, the job becomes much calmer. Become a peace project. / Partner Gratitude: Thanks greatly to our partner, Marcia, who always believed in our work and helped us to complete all the steps with great care, dedication and enthusiasm. It made me learn that when we surrender and plunged into a project, we involve all the people who are participating with great respect, admiration and affection.

 

Conclusão e Avaliação do Intercessor

 

I was very happy to have been contemplated with the choice of these students so committed and enthusiastic about what they do.

For the first time in eight years that I teach at this school, I had the opportunity to deal with materials as diverse and as potentially creative, who were able to sharpen the concentration of students from the four years to the oldest ten. At each age, the impact of exploitation of the materials was different.

We work textures, colors, thicknesses, sizes, shapes, the elasticities, widths, heights, diameters, linkages and outcomes. Moreover, test limits, encourage partnership, solidarity when wheel in each pair representing one color, and interacted with the object in question, using different levels (high, medium and low), three-dimensionality, the inside, outside, near, far, the bilateral (left and right), the opposite of strong and weak, the little train with few or many students, the "star", the doubles, trios, the race to be first to play, the competition to be who collected the material used by colleagues, the new ...

Something unusual for the teaching experience of these children came through Debora and Paula, tireless in getting something more suitable / appropriate for recreational and educational activity. A child came to compare the experiences choreographed to a "child-hope." Malleable materials that avoid any accidents involving children and that both the characteristic, as the vibrant colors, enticed everyone who participated or watched the activities.

Me, the children and the institution as a whole is that we must thank the partnership with the PUC-Rio and good will of Debora and Paula, always diligent, smiling, participatory, creative, desirous of recording the whole process, either through drawings or photos and who managed, through the kindness, care, wisdom, dedication, respect, ideas, sensitivity, knowledge, interaction with children, the partnership with me, do something so incredible and magical to help as instrumental my activities to be imparted to students, I come to suspect that inside those plastic bags full of material, they tirelessly brought to school, had hidden a magic wand that poss essed magical powers of transformation.

Like fairies, they were surrounded by children, always eager to know what surprise was in the bag that day.

I have not had in any single day, resilience of children to develop any of the activities that "build" from the materials brought by the students of PUC Paula and Debora. Quite the contrary! Still innovated constructing and deconstructing forms and my suggestions, sometimes anticipating them by them.

Very nice to see a process germinate, grow and develop to the culmination of a fulfillment.

These are the real ties, which we so often we help "give and tie" during the class itself and to symbolize the elasticity with which we must deal with the challenges that life offers us, involvement, emotion, perseverance, optimism and willingness to hit.

Thank you for everything you gave me two and by extension, were "donated" to the children of this school.

Kisses, Márcia.
