This semester, two new schools in Brazil will join the IVECA program: Elementary School Caldas Junior in Novo Hamburgo City and Ivoti Institute of Education in Ivoti Town. Students from both schools are excited to begin the new program. In preparation, the lead teacher for the 5th grade class at Elementary School Caldas Junior has implemented English language lessons; something which had previously never been done. At the Ivoti Institute, the 8th grade English and Social Studies instructors are working collaboratively to gear up for the upcoming semester. They will be partnering with Bellows Free Academy, Vermont, USA. Sejam bem-vindos! (Welcome in Portuguese!)
