Sharing stories and ideas

Students read stories, write their own texts, and share ideas with their classmates. They ask questions, listen, and talk about what matters to them. They work together on projects, take part in group discussions, and help one another learn. Each day, they become more confident communicators and creative writers.

In Portuguese, students develop reading, interpretation, and writing skills with a focus on culture and citizenship. They also expand their vocabulary, creativity, and independence through regular reading and writing.

Through these enriching musical experiences, students develop coordination and concentration, express themselves artistically, and strengthen their sense of identity and belonging through music.
