A Brief History Of Brazil

Today is actually Health class, but we are making up History class from yesterday. We have been studying various countries and have covered Canada, and Mexico. Now we start Brazil. For a brief history of Brazil the video below is cute. You can find free printable maps of Brazil here. For facts about Brazil you can go to Wikipedia. Portuguese is the official language in Brazil and here are some common terms: Bom dia; good morning, Adeus; goodbye, Obrigado; thank you, Coma esta; how are you, Sim; yes, Nao; no, Casa; house, Escola; school. Next week we will be doing the Amazon in Brazil.
