- What do you want to be when you grow up?
- A decent person.
Diego – 10 years old
Daily Ritual
In the art e play workshops we work in various circle groups that
are cheerful and liberate movement, dialogues and popular culture,
stimulating identity expression, exchanges of knowledge and intimacy
("Grãos e Griô Policies and Methodology Book").
Shared planning
of daily activities,
development and revision of Rules for Living Amongst Others all
stimulate group integration. We also facilitate motor coordination
development and follow each
student’s growth regarding the challenges of rhythm,
coordination, endurance, laterality, balance, speed, agility,
flexibility and impetus.
During our daily ri
tual
we reserve a special time for personal games in the Games Corner
as well as for the children’s artistic productions that are the result
of studies of generating themes regarding the environment, ethnicity,
children’s rights and others.
“Take care of your children by taking care of
nature. They will need it for their future.”
Ademário, 10 years old.
We develop Story Hour
where everyone sits in a circle around the storyteller in the Story
Corner. Afterwards everyone sings for the
ir
snack, also in a circle, learning to share this moment with joy, harmony
and hygiene, taking care of the workshop environment and themselves,
washing their hands and brushing their teeth. At the end they sign an
attendance book, giving a good-bye hug.
