Abstract

This study shows the results of researches done about the inclusion of six-year-old children in the Primary School. The aim is to understand and reflect on how these children are being involved in the municipal Primary School of Ibirabuitã, located in the north region of Rio Grande do Sul. The methodology of investigation was based in a qualitative approach which used observation, having as data-collecting instruments the reports of the activities done every day, discussion with the teachers of the respective grades and debate on the approached contents from 2007 to 2009. The theoretical reference is according to authors who look into the matter. The results obtained in the discussions and observation with teachers who work with the respective grades need a continued formation so that they make clear the understanding of the importance of the student-teacher relation and the addressing of those teachers toward those children which needs to be seen as a different ‘view’ so as the transition from Pre-School to Primary School happens naturally and the emotion and entertainment are taken into account and understood by the teachers as essential to the success of the school life. It is necessary that the policies on Education are rethought creating strategies which enable access, permanence and teaching quality.
