Brazilian schools thus far

I cannot believe the time has been flying by so quickly. We have done so much in the past couple of days. The purpose of our trip is to visit the schools in Rio and talk to the teachers and students. We are responsible to submit curriculum units incorporating the Brazilian culture that can be used by teachers in the United States. Being almost positive I want to begin in elementary education in a Catholic school, I have been looking at creating a theology unit.

The schools we have gone to so far have each been different and interesting. Some of them focus more on behavior and discipline while others seem to have students who are excited to learn and may be more boisterous.

I have also really enjoyed being able to talk to the teachers. By talking I mean listening to them and then subsequently listening to the interpreter. The language barrier has been an extremely tough addition to this trip.

Below are some of the pictures from the classrooms and schools we have visited.
