Playing with phonemes and images Team: Letícia Lisboa Guimarães lele.lisboaguimaraes@gmail.com Vanessa Cristina da Silva Bernardes vanessinhabernardes@hotmail.com Social Group: Prof Fabiana Aparecida Mendes de Carvalho Escola Municipal Senador Corrêa Rua Esteves Júnior, 42 Flamengo - Rio de Janeiro CEP: 22231-160 Tel.: 2245-5666 fabi_mendez@hotmail.com The project took place at Senador Correa Municipal School, Flamengo, with the 1st grade teacher Fabiana Carvalho giving literacy classes to students between five and seven years old. Sheets of exercises, videos, storybooks, magazine clippings, free drawing, dictation and games are some of the activities held in class. The teacher's main expectation is that students learn while having fun. From the group of words that makes Fabiana's vocabulary universe we defined the project's theme: "Attention to the difference between the roles played by the rabbit, the giraffe and the sheep in stories; make beautiful drawings." The teacher related the theme to activities such as exercises with sheets that combine images and text. From them, the phonemes' sound and visual differences are stimulated. At the end of each assignment, students put their creativity into practice by drawing and painting the proposed images and words. The relation between the theme and Fabiana's methods was emphasized when she drew the outline of a human body and questioned the students about differences between boys and girls. Remembering the whole process of trial and observing the hot/cold line the teacher made, we aimed at the hottest: a phoneme dice, plates with associative images, little shells with letters and magnetised letters. After that, we realized that Fabiana focuses on literacy stimulation by associative methods, linking text and image. The autonomy of the students is also worked as they are encouraged to build up words and distinguish sounds of different phonemes. It became clear to us that, that as a literacy class, the larger goal is that children can discover different ways to write while playing with letters. Based on this, we developed a memory game with 134 pieces, which involves association of images with their initial phonemes, for example: the image of a tomato is associated with the phoneme "TO". Drawings and letters of the game were printed on adhesive and applied on the parts - plates of 14cm x 14cm built with DayCell (expanded PVC). The finishing was made by coating each plate individualy with a plastic cover. With the memory game in hand, Fabiana split the class into groups, giving three different ways to use: memory game, play dominoes and word formation. Letícia: It was an experience that made me really understand what it is doing the project: to adapt to an unknown area, know the work of the intercessor, every idea and plan to create an object that represents the purposes and objectives of the teacher in the classroom. I learned that I should not put my opinion in the foreground, for words, phrases and attitudes of the intercessor is to define our project. I thank Fabiana for showing me that the involvement of the intercessor in the project is essential for successful completion, and work with someone who is sincere at times to suggest, praise and reject is important for the process flow and it’s conclusion. Vanessa: During the months we became involved with the work so that it becomes hard not to cling to certain aspects, then it is important to be receptive to guidance and suggestions from teachers, who are able to look at the project with detachment. Absorb such knowledge enriches the work and generates a professional maturity. I learned that cases of difficulty should be seen as an opportunity to overcome it, not giving up on obstacles and believing in the capacity of implementation are key features during the execution of a project. I thank Fabiana for not having changed her schedule and activities due to our presence, because I learned that we must not influence any kind of modification or adaptation of the class, because that way we can observe the work of the intercessor in its essence.
