For our final lessons this year, we will be focusing on career and student safety. For our first lesson on careers, we started out with a discussion about what a career is. we watched an episode of Buckalope Elementary on Hobbies, Interests, and Careers. We talked about the differences between hobbies, interests, and careers, and why we talk about careers in kindergarten.
The video focused on how interests and hobbies can turn into our careers, or they can remain a hobby. The episode ended with this song about careers.
We spent the rest of our time reading a book called "Whose Tools are These?" In this book, students are shown different tools that are used in occupations (stethoscopes for doctors, pencils for teachers, paint brushes for artists, etc.) Students would try to guess which tools went with with job, and then we would share what these different jobs consist of.
