Semana Farroupilha como proposta de trabalho interdisciplinar nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

The purpose of this work aimed at elaborating, developing and analyzing an interdisciplinary pedagogical proposal on the theme of the Farroupilha Week. The research question lied on the following: What are the potentials to work in the classroom, in an interdisciplinary way, knowledge concerning the Farroupilha Week? The qualitative approach research was carried out at a municipal Elementary school located in Sao Gabriel, RS, Brazil. 15 fourth-grade students participated in the activities and the class leading teacher (first author of the article). Therefore, was established as a participant. The interdisciplinary activities elaborated involved knowledge in the fields of History, Geography, Sciences, Arts, Portuguese Language, Literature and Mathematics. As we worked about this commemorative day in a contextualized and interdisciplinary way, we ended up providing more sense to the knowledge acquired. However, we consider as the main challenge found the lack of awareness about the importance of the interdisciplinary work by the other school teachers. The potentials of working in an interdisciplinary way, in the classroom, knowledge concerning the Farroupilha Week contribute for: a greater thinking capacity; the development of skills and attitudes in the students as well as redemption of a pleasure in learning in a different way.
