A project on the World Soccer Cup is being developed with the children from the kindergarten at Centro Educacional Leonardo da Vinci. The students are learning how to recognize the flags and the participant countries, studying the culture of France, the colors that form the brazilian flag and other aspects of the Brazilian team.
The small fans learn fast and, according to teachers Eliza Helena and Danielle, they "develop the love for the country and for the sport".
The students of the kindergarten, when questioned on who is the couch of the Brazilian team, answered loudly: "Zagallo!!!". They also showed they knew the Eiffel tower and the players from Brazil.
Teacher Vânia, from Pré I B, motivates the children so they bring to classroom news on the Cup. She says that "it is important to place the child inside the reality, inside what is happening in the world".
Álvaro, 4 years old, is one of the most vibrating students and he says his idol is Ronaldinho.
Mariane, 4 years old: "I placed a flag in the balcony of my house".
