 * ** As a literacy and social studies activity the students can research the life of children in Brazil. Then the teacher will get in contact with a Brazilian school and receive an address so the 4th graders can write to them about their life in America and they can learn about the student's lives in Brazil (there will be translations of the students' writing) . **


 * ** The teacher can read The Most Beautiful Roof in the World : Exploring the Rainforest Canopy out loud to the class to learn about the geography of Brazil which is made up of Rainforests. The book follows the work of scientist Meg Lowman and her sons as they study the brilliant and vivid world of the rainforest canopy and its myriad of exotic creatures, including spider monkeys, bats, and vipers. **




 * ** As a fun music (fine arts) activity the children can learn different Brazilian songs and nursery rhymes for children. They can preform them in groups to the whole class or learn a few songs a week to preform in front of their peers and parents. **
