The 1st grade loves
Robert Munch !
Ms Mara read aloud to
my class a book called
We Share Everything by
Robert Munch. I knew
one of his books already:
Jessica’s airplane. Then
after, Ms Mara started
to read many others
Robert Munch books because the students liked
a lot. They are very
funny!

Machado de Assis
Machado de Assis teve uma vida
muito difícil, não freqüentava a
escola regularmente e ajudava
sua mãe que era lavadeira.
Começa a descobrir o Rio de
Janeiro percorrendo as ruas do
centro, sua preferida era a rua do
Ouvidor. Adorava ver os barcos e
imaginava para onde eles
iam.Todos os dias ficava lendo
livros na livraria de Paula Brito.
Um dia escreveu um poema e o
dono da livraria publicou. Foi um
sucesso e aí começou a escrever
algumas peças de teatro e seus
primeiros romances.
