It is also very common in Brazil that people go every week to Feiras (or street markets) to buy
fresh products.
IDEA: A great opportunity for a
dramatic play using the Step Inside
and Perceive-Know-Care About
Thinking Routines. Invite students to
bring fruits and vegetables at the
school and create your own street
market
In Brazil are lovely regions as different as the Amazon jungle and the Pantanal wetlands,
the Icuacu falls and the Atlantic rainforest. Also, in Brazil you can find appealing plants and
living creatures.
People, how they live, variety, natives, and modern styles
Brazilians include people from all ethnic backgrounds. This is because of the blending of
European, African, and Asian people who came to Brazil with the many Indian groups who had
been living there for thousands of years. Integrated by a common language, Portuguese, and
historical events, all of these people, with their many different origins, are very proud to be
Brazilian. There are a lot of people that live in the cities and many live in tight quarters. Often
people build on top of each other’s houses. This makes for mini mountains of houses.
Food brings Brazilians together. Lunch is usually the biggest meal of the day in Brazil
and rice, beans, and meat are just about at all times on the plate. Fresh fruit, fried bananas and
cheese bread are also very common Brazilian foods. One of Brazilians’ favorite delights
is Brigadeiro.
IDEA: Organize weekly cooking projects and explore food from Brazil. Cooking projects are
always fun and allow children to wonder, think, try sense, identify changes that occur while we
mix ingredients and discover. Incorporate the Wheel of Wonder Thinking Routine.
