GSE BRAZIL 2012

GSE BRAZIL 2012: I will be attending the Group Study Exchange to Brazil. A great way for a Social Studies teacher to get Professional Development.
So over the past few weeks I have adjusted my schedule to learn everything Brazilian...language and food.

Language:
1. I listen to the Pimsluer Method Brazilian Portuguese audio CDs in the car on the way to work and on the way home. Most of you know that is a challenge for me. I love music and car is the only place I can sing without someone telling me to stop. But one must do what one must do in order to achieve something great.
2.I have started the Rosetta Stone in the evenings. The program is great but the kids always need something and little gets done.
3. Started carrying and using flash cards of things I am going to be saying.

Food:
1. Weekly Brazilian food night. Has been real fun learning about all the MEAT I will be eating.
2. Cafe do Brazil. Went with some great friends and family for a wonderful evening. Tried things I normally would eat.
3. Candy. My wonderful mother made Brigaderios for me. Had one and the family ate the rest before I could blink. Going to make more for people who help on Peerbackers.
