Iniciamos em Agosto o nosso período integral – das 8:00 as 17:30.
Um dos desafios preparando esta opção foi pensar no almoço que serviríamos para as crianças. Precisava ser nutritivo, gostoso e saudável. Decidimos, oferecer um almoço composto principalmente por alimentos orgânicos.
Todas as sextas-feiras, recebemos uma cesta de orgânicos da empresa Sementes de Paz , quando bolamos e adequamos o cardápio da semana seguinte de acordo com os produtos que recebemos. A Sementes de Paz é um empreendimento que pratica o Comércio Justo de Alimentos e Produtos Ecológicos, estimulando a construção de uma Rede de Cooperação Econômica. O trabalho deles é pautado pelos princípios do Comércio Justo, da Agroecologia, do Consumo Responsável e da Economia da Cooperação.
As crianças estão curtindo e nós também. A Jô é responsável por fazer o almoço, que é sempre uma delicia!
As nossas queridas Nice e Brisa acompanham as crianças durante a refeição, ajudando quem precisa e estimulando quem não quer comer. Após o almoço todos escovam os dentes e fazem uma ciesta para depois poder curtir, brincar e aprender durante a tarde na A Way.
Caso tenham curiosidade, podemos enviar o cardápio da próxima semana.


On Friday, the 12th of August 2011, we hosted our first Father’s Day Picnic!
It was delicious. The kids were extremely happy to have their Daddies for themselves, to show them the school, have them in their class to play and participate in special activities, and enjoy a great picnic in the playground.
The children had a wonderful time, during arts class, painting a beautiful cap as a gift for Daddy. One could tell the children were proud of their production seeing all the Daddies walking around the school in their new caps.
It was very interesting to observe how the children were comfortable, all of them participated in circle time and there were no tears or manha.
We would like to thank all the Dads who came to the picnic. It is great when family and school work together, the children love it and their learning experience is enhanced.

A Way has recently bought a series of colorful Bilibos, which have been a great success among all the children, from the very young toddlers to the older kids. We have seen them using this fantastic toy in numerous fun and creative ways.
With the Bilibos, the kids create their own games, use them indoors, outdoors, and in the sand pit. They always invent, a new way of playing with it: rocking, spinning, sitting, building, using them as a hat, as a bucket, as a shell to make believe they are turtles, as tables and many other ways.
It is a joy to see the children having so much fun, exploring different possibilities and developing in many different ways with one single toy.
