Abstract
This report aims at pointing out the possibility of practice by psychology graduates in elementary school. In order to do that, a professional practice is described within a discipline of cross-sectional themes. The themes approached and their objectives are very close to the objectives of psychology teaching, even though it is not exactly a discipline in the area. A graduate at this level of education brings relevant contributions, develops individual emancipation and critical thinking. In students’ oral and written productions, it was possible to observe the development of empathy, self-awareness, as well as the recognition and validation of differences by means of respect. It is highly recommended that the courses of teacher formation in psychology include contents for the practice by graduates in elementary education and also that these teachers go through stages of actual practice at this level of education as well.
