W6 Social Studies

Besouro Zagon came to visit W6 today to teach us a few capoeira moves. We’ve been visiting Brazil via video, books and the internet, so it was great to see one of Brazil’s national sports come alive in our classroom. W6 students bravely entered the roda with Besouro and played capoeira with him to the music of the berimbau.

What did you think of Besouro’s visit? What did you learn about capoeira?

The Speaker, aka Glenn Cummings, came to speak to Windsor Six students on February 1. He talked about what it’s like to be a State Representative, and the unique responsibilities he has as House Speaker. He also helped us imagine, through role play, what it’s like to sit in the house and debate a bill.
