This present work presents the ABCerrados project as a theoretical-methodological perspective in environmental education.

The ABCerrados project uses natural elements from the environment in which the school community is inserted to work on letters, words, numbers, in addition to having an action front that aims to develop the corporeality, the motor dimension and the laterality of young students. In the method proposed by the project, some of the basic theoretical contributions are the ecological literacy proposed by Capra (2006) and Freire's pedagogy (FREIRE, 1987), which raise questions about the importance of work in early childhood, and how to make the learning process more meaningful for children.
