children and childhoods in the face of the transition process to Elementary School. Concerns:
in the relationships with nature, what experiences do children have in the transition from
Early Childhood Education to the 1st Year of Elementary School in the face of the walling up
of Learning? How is the school organized to welcome children in the 1st year of Elementary
School in the context of childhood conceptions and relationships with the elements of
nature? The research involved an Early Childhood Education school and an Elementary
School in the municipality of Ji-Paraná/RO. As for the methodology, it was of a qualitative
nature from the perspective of participatory research with children and, as procedures, a
bibliographic, documentary and observational research. From a theoretical point of view, the
research was based on the following authors: Barros, 2015; Corsaro, 2009; Tiriba, 2018 and
2023; Fernandes; Marchi, 2020; Horn, 2017; Kishimoto, 2017; Sarmento, 2003; Edwards;

process of transition from Early Childhood Education to the 1st Year of Elementary School It
produces in the relationships with nature and that the children's perspectives on this process
