This paper intends to present an analysis of classes in Elementary Brazilian Schools. At first, these classes were video-recorded with the purpose of evaluating how the school knowledge is taken as an object in specific spaces and time. There were analyzed fragments of the classroom discourse in four pedagogical sequences. When board and paper texts, on which the continuous spatial deictic reference was incident, were considered, it became evident a strong topology of the school knowledge. The school knowledge was also revealed as something temporal, a sequence to go by, through marks of verbal tenses, through deictic and temporal marks. The temporality and spatiality of the school subjects act as productivity devices, which situate the subject-student at a determined course, and tell about his situation within it, pointing simultaneously at the objects he must appropriate for his convenient positioning in the pedagogical career.
