Temos novidade no ar! Ou melhor, no nosso site!

Homework Helper! A ajuda que você estava precisando. Vivemos em uma época de grandes avanços tecnológicos e a rapidez de como tudo está mudando, para muitos é assustadora. Como pais e educadores, precisamos estar envolvidos nesse processo de descobertas através do uso da tecnologia. É necessária uma maior participação na exploração desse mundo, mediando o uso do computador, orientando como utilizar essa ferramenta de forma segura, ensinando a pensar criticamente e a agir com responsabilidade. Mostrando assim, como essa experiência pode ser produtiva. Nós da ABA Global School vamos ajudar vocês nesse processo de descobertas. Este espaço foi feito para servir de guia para um mundo de possibilidades online. É possível usar a internet como aliada nas tarefas de casa, nas pesquisas escolares e nos momentos de lazer, ajudando as crianças a se desenvolverem e aprenderem sempre mais. Para acessar o Homework Helper, basta entrar no estudenaaba.com. Lá vocês irão encontrar o link da Escola bilíngue, para então, acessar nossa área restrita ao inserir o CPF do responsável e a data de nascimento do aluno. We hope you enjoy it! Esperamos que curtam!

Resumo dos temas transdisciplinares (até agora).

Essa semana estamos entrando em um novo tema transdisciplinar, o How We Express Ourselves.
Acabamos de sair de um tema que foi o Where We Are In Place And Time. Depois de estudar sobre várias viagens que foram: A viagem de Marco Polo À China, A viagem de Cristovão Colombo À América, A viagem de Fernão de Magalhães, A viagem da volta ao mundo da família Schürmann e As conquistas espaciais.
Agora estamos estudando as contribuições culturais dos vários povos que formaram os Estados Unidos e o Brasil.
Dentre deste tema estamos estudando vários conceitos como cultura, etnias, miscigenação e migração.
