This has been a very fun week back! We just started our unit
on career development, which has proven to be really exciting and full of fun!
In kindergarten, we read the books, When I Grow Up by Al Yankovic and I Can
Be Anything! by Jerry Spinelli. They are both fantastic books that explore some
common and not-so-common careers.
Some of the more common careers explored in both books are
firefighter, chef, movie director, investor, museum curator, and teacher. Some of the not-so-common careers mentioned
are snail trainer, gorilla masseuse, pickle inspector, arm pit deodorant
tester, and foot model. The kids had a blast with these books (and so did I)! I
wanted our kindergarten students to realize that they can be ANYTHING when they
grow up. There are SO many options!
The kids then shared ideas of what careers they found
interesting. I heard so many wonderful and unique career interests. Some ideas
shared were ballerina, babysitter, police officer, actor, dancer, singer,
football player, teacher, counselor J,
firefighter, scientist, and engineer. Below are examples of what the kids
created. They did a fantastic job!
